| Summary |
While libraries strive to provide the services, programs and facilities that their patrons and communities want and need, funding is needed before these services, programs and facilities can be offered. These essays draw on the experience of librarians at twelve institutions to offer suggestions for raising funding and donations to cover operating expenses, special projects and services, and working with library boards and foundations. They offer useful information for a variety of public, academic and special libraries. |
