We must also become promoters of libraries and describe the library's competencies and benefits to the community. We need to become politically savvy and join others in fighting legislation aimed at curtailing the rights of ethnic populations. We must build coalitions within our own ethnic groups as well as with society at large. We need to foster an understanding about our mission and gather support from all levels. This must include the business sector.
Individuals do make a difference.
Post them on the Internet. Expand ethnic and cultural awareness by providing information no one else may have. Without presenting our views, history and customs, we're left out. You can't do it alone. Organize action groups in the community.
