There is a lot of good information on the Library of Michigan website.  For Friends the following is provided by a statewide membership, provided by the Library of Michigan, to United for Libraries.

Engaging Today's Volunteers for Libraries and Friends is a three-part series of webcasts is designed to inform library Friends, Trustees, and staff about this new generation of volunteers — how they are different from volunteers in the past, what they want from service opportunities, and how libraries and Friends can attract them.


As part of your statewide group membership, you now have access to all of the materials and resources linked below. Access requires a login, provided to you by your library director or United for Libraries. If you don't know your login or have any questions about your group membership, please email united@ala.org, or call the United for Libraries office at (800) 545-2433, ext. 2161.

To learn more about logging in and accessing resources, as well as a tour of all the resources included in your statewide group membership, please watch the welcome webinar for Michigan staff, Trustees, Friends, and Foundations. Access the recording here.

United has great toolkits on how to organize and revitalize Friends groups.

Happy Thursday!

We haven't had a Friends of the Library since 2011. Can you share the
process for getting a Friends group organized?

Thanks!
