Working@Your Library: For Love or Money Advocacy Video

working@your library: for LOVE or MONEY

an advocacy video to help library workers improve their salaries

What can help you make your case when advocating for better salaries? working@your lIbrary can help! This 10-minute video accomplishes four goals:

1. Illustrating the importance of work done by library workers
2. Highlighting the variety of work done by library workers
3. Emphasizing the inequities of library pay in comparison to other similarly trained professions
4. Making it clear that something must be done

This video, the new Video Guide and the Advocating for Better Salaries and Pay Equity Toolkit are important tools as you formulate strategies for convincing your colleagues, managers, trustees, and elected officials that it is fair and possible to align library workers' salaries with those positions requiring similar education and responsibility.
