- How Libraries Can Play Power Politics at the National, State, and Local Levels. Federal Aid Federal Legislation Financial Support Government Role Librarians Libraries Library Expenditures Library Services Political Influences Political Power Speeches Immediate and concentrated effort is required to secure adequate appropriations to maintain existing library programs and to extend library services to even greater numbers of users.

Additional persuasion can be acquired by enlisting the support of civic groups, educational organizations, and labor unions. (EMH)
