Video: See the Libraries Transform Campaign in Action

[Indiana Library Federation Video]

Confronted with a too-limited state budget for library internet connectivity, the Indiana Library Federation set out to change local legislators’ minds. With determination, creativity, and help from the Libraries Transform campaign messaging, they ended up securing an extra three million dollars for internet access in libraries and schools. Watch our new video<http://ala.informz.net/z/cjUucD9taT03NTE4NzM0JnA9MSZ1PTEwMTAyMDMwNTEmbGk9NTM1MjU3MTE/index.html> to see how they did it.

Have a Libraries Transform success story of your own? We’d love to hear from you any time at campaign at ala.org<mailto:campaign at ala.org?subject=Libraries%20Transform%20Success%20Story>.
