\"Image:When you advocate, it\u2019s important to choose your words.<\/p>\n

Finding a great way of expressing the importance of libraries can make the difference when you\u2019re trying to convince someone.<\/p>\n

But it\u2019s not always easy to find these \u2013 not all of us are poets!<\/p>\n

You don\u2019t always have to choose your own words through. Many famous people have said supportive things about libraries.<\/p>\n

So for our Seventeenth 10-Minute Library Advocate exercise, find a great library quote and learn it.<\/p>\n

You can then use this when you\u2019re talking with people, post it on social media, or even print it on a piece of paper (or if you\u2019re feeling brave, a t-shirt!).<\/p>\n

There are plenty of sites with quotes on the internet \u2013 you should look for the one or more that you feel comfortable using.<\/p>\n

Share your favourites here!<\/p>\n

Good luck!<\/p>\n
