Winning Library Grants: A Game Plan

摘要

In the United States, in particular, the need for libraries to generate their own revenue is very important, and many managers there have learned skills in the arts of fundraising. While revenue streams are important in other countries, the needed knowledge to raise money is less widespread, so perhaps that is why all the books on fundraising for libraries seem to be published in the United States. This title joins others, such as Library fundraising: models for success, edited by Dwight Burlingame (ALA, 1995); Art of the books: a complete guide to a fundraising project for libraries & other organizations, by Annette Chaudet (Pronghorn, 2005); and Fundraising for Libraries: 25 Proven Ways to Get More Money for Your Library, by James Swan (Neal-Schuman, 2002).
