Fundraising ideas
<insert ideas, examples, and stories of fundraisers here>
(Some ideas that come to me off the top of my head: home mailers, item sales, raffles, 50/50's, & donation envelopes)
<[1]> In My Book® cards, 'the greeting card and bookmark in one'... to sell at the library shop and at Friends booksales.
Our library just started having a book sale. We used used this guide when we set it up, since we didn't really know how to specifically run one. http://booksalemanager.com/nonprofit-used-book-sale-guide.aspx
We had a successful first sale. We had a large turn out and advertised fliers through out the library, email to all our friends members, and posted on the site with the guide. We made about $600 for our small sale and hope to have a bigger one next year!
