Advocacy is something that we all acknowledge is important and vital for our sector.
Earlier this year, we shared the draft advocacy plan developed by the Advocacy Ohu Mahi and our pro bono strategic advisor. Thanks to the invaluable feedback you provided during Phase One, we have moved into the next phase: Action.
To make an impact, our message needs to be consistent and clear across the entire country. As one unified voice advocating for school libraries, we all need to be sharing these core messages in every interaction about our sector.
Below, you’ll find our Activation images; including downloadable social media tiles and infographics. We invite you to use these resources, share them widely with your networks, and help us amplify our collective voice.

SLANZA Advocacy Strategy: Phase One – Foundations & Key Messaging
Over the last couple of months the Advocacy Ohu Mahi has been developing an advocacy strategy/plan alongside a (pro bono) strategic advisor. The first phase of the plan was attached to an email sent to members and can be found below. This is the first phase, and not the complete plan, as we want members to be agreed on the key messages and target audience before the complete strategy is finalised.
Key messages need to be consistent to have any effect. As one unified voice advocating for school libraries we all need to be repeating the same key messages with any interaction we have about the sector.
Explore the initial framework of our new advocacy strategy. This phase focuses on establishing a unified voice and identifying our target audiences to ensure school libraries are heard at every level of the sector. Please complete the form below if you'd like to give your feedback. Please share your feedback by 17 April 2026.
