Hello Lisa, The Friends of Michigan Libraries (FOML) will be offering a virtual meeting for FOML members on Thursday, November 12 to discuss that very topic (time TBD). We are in the process of finalizing details and will send out information soon. If you aren’t a member of FOML yet, please see our website for details so you don’t miss out on this state-wide discussion! http://foml.org/ Thank you, *Rebecca Higgerson* Director Brandon Twp Public Library 304 South Street Ortonville MI 48462 248-627-1474 *ENGAGE • EDUCATE • ENRICH • EMPOWER* *No Reservation Recommendations: your source for colleague-approved vendors!* https://nrr.ninja/ *From:* Michlib-l <michlib-l-bounces@mcls.org> *On Behalf Of *Lisa Waskin via Michlib-l *Sent:* Saturday, October 10, 2020 1:43 PM *To:* 'michlib-l' <michlib-l@mcls.org> *Subject:* [Michlib-l] Friends of the Library fundraising workshop I am sending a request for any information regarding a Friends of the Library online workshop or virtual networking program that may have been developed in response to Covid. Specifically we are looking for something like: Navigating Covid – How to Raise Funds for Your Library During a Pandemic – along those lines. I am sure everyone’s FOL groups are struggling with ways to raise money outside of the norm at this point. Or, if there haven’t been any workshops developed yet, would there be a group of FOL groups that might want to form a networking brainstorm group with ours? I have a Zoom meeting room that I would be happy to facilitate something like that for Friends groups to get together virtually to share what they have been doing and get new ideas from others. Thank you, Lisa Lisa Waskin, Director Superior District Library 541 Library Drive Sault Ste. Marie, MI 49783 Ph. (906) 632-9331 Fax (906) 635-0210 lisaw@uproc.lib.mi.us
