Manitoba Library Conference May 4 - 6, 2016
Friends: Making Connections that Count
Friends
groups enable the library to have a greater reach into the community,
to increase the library’s visibility, to network and partner with other
community organizations and to have advocates for the library who can
mobilize quickly and efficiently. Even a small Friends group can
accomplish a great deal. They tend to know what works in your community. As
volunteers of an autonomous organization created to benefit the
library, Friends can undertake projects the library cannot, apply for
grants (particularly if they have charitable status), fundraise, hold
events outside the library and advocate when needed with direction from
the Library Board. This session will provide examples of
Friends groups from across Canada which have maximized their community
connections, raised significant funds, made citizens more aware of what
the library has to offer and who stood up for the library.
Presenter: Dorothy Macnaughton
The participation of Friends of Canadian Libraries representatives
at provincial and national library association events is made
possible through the constant and generous support of
our conference sponsor Random House of Canada.
