MHLS Sustainable Funding Series: Sustainable Funding Options for Association & Municipal Public Libraries for Directors & Trustees Online
Sustainable Funding Options for Association & Municipal Public Libraries for Directors & Trustees
Association and Municipal Public Libraries must take annual action to secure sustainable funding for their libraries that grows to keep up with community demand for services, programs, and collections. Join Rebekkah Smith Aldrich, MHLS Executive Director and co-author of the New York State Library's Public Library District Toolkit, to better understand your options for pursuing sustainable funding through voter-directed initiatives allowed under New York State Education Law 259. At this event we will review:
-
Why it is important to seek an annual increase for the library
-
The basic steps for holding a vote along municipal boundaries or school district boundaries
-
Best practices for transparent financial reporting to your community
-
Key messages for making the case to your community
This workshop is part of the MHLS Sustainable Funding & Trustee Education Series and is intended for MHLS member library trustees only.
