Funding
a New Training Center
Believe it or not, you can still draw lessons
from classic children's stories such as The
Little Engine That Could. Witness how the underfunded
public law library in this article managed to create
partnerships and raise enough money to build a
state-of-the-art training center for its users.
You'll see just how far you can get on the "I think
I can!" attitude.

Small Library, Big
Fundraising: Community Support Is Way Above Par
You don't have to be a pro to master fundraising, as this
resort-town public library discovered. Its all-volunteer staff
hosted flea markets, raffles, and benefit golf tournaments to
raise money, and one volunteer even learned how to write successful
grant proposals. They proved that with strong community support,
every penny really adds up.
