We are investing in laddered CDs, municipal funds and money market certificates. Our previous auditor wanted to be sure that all monies were invested in either Michigan banks or banks that had branches in MI. We do use a financial planner (somehow at no cost to us) who, when a CD is due, researches who pays the best interest rates.

Ditto to what Barbara said.  With one money market mixed in and we manage it ourselves.

Hello All,
 
I know there are guidelines for investing public funds, but my Board is interested in knowing where other libraries are investing surplus funds. 
 
Thank you,
