We
have several goals for the next months and years and need you to join
us
to achieve them - every new member will help to strengthen our position
to advocate in behalf of Massachusetts libraries!
Double
MFOL membership. Only little more than a third of the state's
public
libraries are members. Strength lies in numbers. MFOL needs your
support
and asks you to tell another Friends group about MFOL. We
welcome
corporate, school and law libraries as well.
Advocate
for libraries at the state and local levels. We will push to shake
the state's legislative tree.
Sponsor
a Great Ideas Contest. MFOL wants to recognize and honor creative
ideas
generated by its members. Details of our current contest will be
announced
soon.
Be
more visible. MFOL will host more roundtables and co-sponsor, along
with MLBC (Massachusetts Board of Library Commissioners), fundraising
workshops
& other events. Directors and Trustees will be asked to urge their
Friends groups to join MFOL.
MFOL
can help you to...
find
ways to raise more money for your library.
enhance
the offerings of your Friends group programs and events.
increase
rapport with trustees, directors, Friends groups.
a
newsletter linking members and sharing resources and ideas,
annual
joint fall conference with the Massachusetts Library Trustees
Association,
workshops
on critical issues for member groups.
Other MFOL activities include regional Legislative Breakfasts (assisted by the Massachusetts Library Association) and Fundraising Workshops (assisted by the Massachusetts Board of Library Commissioners).
