(borrowed from my state library)
This book made many good points for active library advocacy. I particularly liked all of the examples included. (with helpful highlights and underlines) Admittedly some of the information is now a bit dated (slide projectors), but with modern replacements widely known (prezi's , video's, etc.) the advice still works. I think any librarian trying to get the word out about their library (for any reason) and looking for some good advice couldn't go wrong by starting with this book.

There is a lot of (universally) useful information here.
