No school library can be a part of the development and innovation process without funding. To make sure the school libraries in your area get the political and economic attention it deserves, it is important to engage in dialog. This paper presents the practical experiences of The Municipal Association of School Libraries in Denmark in starting, continuing and developing the dialog and overall communication with local politicians. Active engagement from the school librarians is essential in getting the attention of local politicians and various means of informing and communication can be used to strengthen the cause of the school libraries.
