In this article, the author describes his path to library advocacy. It resulted from several youthful experiences, favorable professional associations, and an unexpected invitation shortly after he left K-12 education for the university. The author believes that it is a good idea to get more librarians to consider going into administration. Building- and district-level administrators who were once librarians are more likely to: (1) protect library budgets and staffing; (2) encourage administrators to support library media programs; (3) encourage teacher/library media specialist collaboration; (4) be more effective than most administrators in evaluating library programs and librarians; and (5) influence other administrators and board members.
