Spring Workshops! Held at five different locations around the

informative speaker, roundtable discussions, and information on
our Frances B. Reid and Volunteer-of-the-Year awards. Find out
how to be a winner and receive additional funds for your Friends

A SUMMARY OF THE 2011 WORKSHOPS
The free Spring workshops attendance varied from site to site with the greatest attendance being in excess of 45 participants.
The presentations by the Library Directors were informative and many of the discussions were spirited concerning advocacy at the State level.
The evaluations indicate that 98% of those who completed surveys indicated that they found their workshop helpful and their time well spent.
Participants seemed to value the time allocated for them to share their ideas and experiences with one another, whether it be in a presentation or roundtable format.
Presentations and Roundtable discussions included: fundraising - there were a plethora of different and creative ideas shared including important pointers on planning and implementing a successful book sale, creating newsletters, membership, programming and public relations.
There were some really great suggestions for future topics including: Advocacy, Library/Friends relations, Volunteer recruitment, Membership recruitment and reclamation, Grant applications, Digital applications i.e., websites, e-communications with membership etc., collaborations between public and school libraries and home schoolers, managing Friends finances (budgets profit/loss etc.)
Several participants commented on the contribution that either the location of the workshop or the facility itself played in the success of the day. Several also commented of the helpfulness of the directions provided.
