Office for Library Advocacy (OLA)

The Office for Library Advocacy (OLA) supports the efforts of advocates seeking to support and improve libraries of all types by developing resources, a peer-to-peer advocacy network, and training for advocates at the local, state and national level. OLA works closely with the Public Information Office, the Chapter Relations Office, the Office for Government Relations, and other ALA offices, divisions, and round tables involved in advocacy in order to help better integrate these efforts into the overall planning of advocacy strategies, priorities and policies of the association.
