It is a truth universally acknowledged that kids of all ages love to make buttons. Apologies to Jane Austen, but my past library experience has shown that school age children and teens really enjoyed button-making. Getting to see up close how they are manually put together is fascinating for the science-minded who like to figure out how things work. Artists love the idea of designing their own buttons. Fans of…anything love to show their allegiance to the fandom. Button making hits a LOT of different interests.

Leadership & ALSC Kicks Off Advocacy Button Campaign #alamw15
As part of the Everyday Advocacy campaign, the Association for Library Service to Children (ALSC) is giving away buttons with a call to action. The buttons, emblazoned with the slogan “Creating a Better Future for Children through Libraries,” will be available at the 2015 ALA Midwinter Meeting in Chicago and the 2015 ALA Annual Conference. Attached to each button will be a tip sheet, created by the ALSC Advocacy and Legislation Committee, which includes talking points to help articulate the value of youth library service. A virtual button will be available to those who are not able to attend either conference. The campaign will be launched at the Leadership & ALSC session on Saturday, January 31 at 8:30am in McCormick Place West W179.
