Reed, Sally G. Friends Groups: Critical Support for School Libraries [toolkit]. Philadelphia: United for Libraries, 2013.
About the Toolkit
...gives tips on gaining school support; raising the profile of the
school library; generating excitement; establishing a friends group of
parents, faculty and community members; creating a student friends group
and more.
“With school libraries closing across the country, it is becoming
more important than ever before for school librarians to develop friends
groups,” said United for Libraries Executive Director Sally Gardner
Reed. “Friends have been keeping public libraries open and even staving
off budget cuts for years – they can do the same for school libraries.”This toolkit is also available online.
