Friends & Trustees
Friends of the Library and Trustee groups are some of the powerhouses behind libraries. These groups frequently advocate on behalf of libraries and spend hours raising funds and volunteering their time to help make their local library a success.
In the Documents section, you will find great resources on organizing a Friends group, offering training to trustees, and best practices for working with these groups. Don't forget that as a WebJunction member, you can also add content to this section and share your successes with other libraries!
