After a failed levy lid lift, the Metropolitan Group
recommended that Kitsap Regional Library raise
its awareness in the community through an
education initiative. The KRL Cafe, a staff-driven
advocacy group was created. The Cafe develops
initiatives to inform and excite the community
about the library, its mission, collection, programs,
and services. Collecting and sharing stories with
staff and the public, reaching out to groups,
developing a grassroots information campaign, the
group has directly influenced the community’s
support of the library.
