The book will discuss the library's role in the years leading up to a campaign and the library's role during ballot measure campaigns. Our companion title "How to Win Elections ..." focused on building and running ballot measure committees and vote Yes campaigns during an election cycle. The material is referential but does not overlap in significant ways. The readership may overlap, but because the legal structure of libraries and the legal structure of ballot committees do not allow for the same type of campaign work, the strategies, and tactics are unique and distinct to these audiences"--|cProvided by publisher. 520 Local tax revenue is the single largest source of funding for public libraries in every state. Since 2008, there has been a significant decline in funding support from state and federal agencies. Focusing on Informational Communications Campaigns (commonly referred to as info- only campaigns) for library staff and administrators, Chrastka and Sweeney discuss the library's role in the years leading up to a campaign and the library's role during ballot measure campaigns. -- adapted from introduction and publisher info 588 0 Print version record. 590 eBooks on EBSCOhost|bEBSCO eBook Subscription Academic Collection - North America 650 0 Library fund raising|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ subjects/sh85076693|xPolitical aspects|0https://id.loc.gov /authorities/subjects/sh00005651|zUnited States.|0https:// id.loc.gov/authorities/names/n78095330-781 650 0 Library finance|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/ sh85076690|xPolitical aspects|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/subjects/sh00005651|zUnited States.|0https:// id.loc.gov/authorities/names/n78095330-781 650 0 Libraries and community|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ subjects/sh85076612|xPolitical aspects|0https://id.loc.gov /authorities/subjects/sh00005651|zUnited States.|0https:// id.loc.gov/authorities/names/n78095330-781 650 7 Library fund raising|xPolitical aspects.|2fast|0https:// id.worldcat.org/fast/997770 650 7 Library fund raising.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/ 997768 650 7 Library finance|xPolitical aspects.|2fast|0https:// id.worldcat.org/fast/997760 650 7 Library finance.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/ 997754 650 7 Libraries and community|xPolitical aspects.|2fast|0https:/ /id.worldcat.org/fast/997511 650 7 Libraries and community.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/ fast/997508 651 7 United States.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1204155 655 4 Electronic books. 700 1 Sweeney, Patrick "PC",|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ names/n2017016158|eauthor. 776 08 |iPrint version:|aChrastka, John.|tBefore the ballot. |dChicago : ALA, Neal-Schuman, 2019|z9780838917794|w(DLC) 2018041315|w(OCoLC)1061866360 856 40 |uhttps://rider.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http:// search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&scope=site& db=nlebk&AN=2138939|zOnline ebook via EBSCO.
