Thought I would share a useful resource on fundraising: http://www.grassrootsfundraising.org/howto/enews.html
Thanks to our Foundation President Tim Hillebrand for creating this blog and encouraging us to participate!

Vision
Someday in the near future local communities will be able to apply for and receive grants to fund local library needs. Reading programs, building projects or emergency projects will be funded through the foundation. Let's make this happen.

Coeur d'Alene Dedicates New Library
Last Sunday, after many years of planning and strategic fundraising, the dream of a new library for Coeur d'Alene became a reality. The doors opened to the hordes of visitors eager to inspect the new premises. It's a splendid facility of which we can all be proud as a library community.
This magnificent edifice is a monument to what can happen when the library foundation, friends, trustees, and community all work together for a common purpose with a clear vision. What Coeur d'Alene accomplished is an example we should strive to emulate.
Congratulations, Coeur d'Alene!

Meeting Notes--August 2007
Our usual meeting place is at the University Inn in Moscow, but we had a change of venue for our August meeting--at the 1912 Center. Director of the 1912 Center Jenny Shenneman met with us for a brown bag pot luck lunch and gave us a tour of the waiting-to-be-renovated part of the facility afterwards.
Our purpose in meeting there was to get a feeling for the possibility of installing a permanent book sale location that would also function as a meeting place, a cybercafe, and classroom.
Our thinking is that it may be relativly easy to get a grant for this purpose and then, once in place, the bookstore would offer an on-going revenue stream that could be shared within the entire library system.
The Moscow Library virtually has no private meeting space, and it would be wonderful to have a place for meetings so close to the library. We could also have classes there on various subjects in conjunction with U of I and LCSC as well as offer computer training in a cybercafe setting.
We envision it as a great place for people to meet, have coffee, conversation, and mingle with books.
Our next meeting will be at the Troy Library, September 21 at 12 Noon.
