Starting or Revitalizing a Friends Group (webinar)
Register here
Friends groups are invaluable to libraries by raising money and advocating for them. These groups are comprised of volunteers who want nothing other than a great library! Sally Gardner Reed will talk about how to start a Friends group, how to revitalize the one you have – especially if you feel your group is “aging out” – and will throw in some great fundraising ideas from across the country along the way.
Presenter: Sally Gardner Reed, Executive Director, United for Libraries, Bryn Mawr, PA
