By using the guide, trainers will be able to create a sample advocacy plan for a library, adapt the general training agenda for specific audiences, answer questions relating to the materials from training participants, provide concrete local examples of how each of the resources in the Toolkit might be used, lead general discussions and group interactions, and manage small-group discussion and reporting processes. Included in the toolkit are sample introductions (pdf file), Trainer's Guidelines (pdf file), Master Training Program (includes trainer's agenda, PowerPoint, script, and participant handouts), and a modified training program designed for presenting to trustees and library supporters.
