National Friends of the Library Week

By Donna DiMichele | October 19, 2015

Support your library’s Friends groups with resources from United for Libraries as it coordinates the 10th annual National Friends of Libraries Week Oct. 18-24, 2015. OLIS knows how much your library’s Friends groups support the programs and services of your community’s library.

United for Libraries, a division of the American Library Association says this about National Friends of Libraries Week:

Use the time to creatively promote your group in the community, to raise awareness, and to promote membership. This is also an excellent opportunity for your library and Board of Trustees to recognize the Friends for their help and support of the library.

For ideas and resources, such as PR and Marketing Materials including PSAs, visit the United for Libraries webpage.

Two free webcasts are also available: “Anatomy of a Successful Library Campaign: Real World Tips for Getting the Funding You Need” and, if you don’t have a group yet, “How to Start a Friends Group.”  Information about webcasts.
