Funding, Fundraising, and School Libraries
As with any institution, libraries require funds to thrive, even simply to survive. My intent for this blog is to examine the challenges to libraries when lack of funding is a problem. I wish to examine how fundraising and volunteer opportunities might be created to boost the funds of libraries, especially school libraries, and how community partnerships are essential to the fundraising endeavor. Although my focus and career choice is school librarianship, there is some carry over to a public library setting.
I am pursuing a School Librarian Certificate with my Master's degree in Library and Information Studies. There are many issues in school librarianship I could have pursued with this blog. However, in this case I would like to focus on funding as an issue of how communities and school libraries might join in a collaborative, mutually beneficial effort in funding the library.
