Literary Landmarkā¢ Website Updates and Advocacy

Literary Landmarksā¢ are historically significant locations that pertain to literature and have been officially dedicated by United for Libraries: A Division of the American Library Association. United for Libraryās Literary Landmarkā¢ project had two gaps: an incomplete website and a lack of advocacy. To help update the website I edited 120 landmark entries to include a description, dedication date, Partner, and a separate webpage. My advocacy plan consisted of contacting several sites and encourage them to apply for Literary Landmarkā¢ status, and starting an online Literary Landmarkā¢ photo tag.
