It is important to connect librarians with resources to be successful. One area that is important for any library project is the development of a program for the activities in the library. However, if the building or organizational program does not have sufficient funds to achieve a good return – the project might not get started at all.

A good place to learn about fundraising is from some experts.<\/p>\n

  • The American Library Association – library fundraising page –<\/a> has a nice portal to begin your research. \t<\/li>\n
  • This is a good bibliography of resources to begin your fundraising campaign.
    \nLibrary Advocacy –     Library Fundraising Resources <\/a> \t<\/li>\n
  • This librarian blog with links to library fundraising (part 1<\/a>, part 2<\/a>, part 3<\/a>) provides some very good insight. It will help you get some ideas to develop for your campaign. <\/li>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
