TOPIC
Fan Activism and Library Advocacy: Accio Books 2019 - what it is and how to get involved
You may remember me mentioning from time to time that I am the Library Advocacy Research for the Harry Potter Alliance. Every year the HPA does an annual literacy based fundraising campaign called Accio Books! which supports literacy organisations and libraries. This year marks the 10th anniversary so I thought I'd invite them to come and talk about the event with a group of engaged library professionals. Katie Bowers and the Social Media team were thrilled with the idea, so they'll be joining us on Monday to talk about the campaign specifically and fan activism more broadly!
PLEASE REMEMBER THAT WE'VE CHANGED THE TIME TO 8:30PM ET!
