What a fun time we had last Saturday, April 14, with a roomful of energetic, caring Friends of Vermont libraries! Ideas flowed freely all day long. The morning panel discussed how to keep Friends fun, and afternoon talk tables covered such topics as necessary paperwork, recruiting and retaining members, running a store, book sale basics, and Friends as advocates. Attached are some of the handouts. More are available at the Friends of Libraries USA website, www.folusa.com.
