Hello Conference Goers! Our CPA, Patrick McCarty, and I will be presenting at the 2018 Loleta Fyan Small and Rural Libraries Conference (details below). Our goal is to try and answer those nagging budget or finance questions that you’ve been meaning to address but have yet to carve out the time to do. Therefore, we are asking that you send us your questions in advance of the conference so that we can address them during the session. We will certainly answer any that come to us in the spur of the moment, but we’d really like to prepare a polished response if we can. Nothing you ask will be too simple or too complex for us (well, for Patrick, anyway)!! So please send your questions directly to me (and not the entire listserv J). Thanks, and we hope to see you on Wednesday, May 1 at 11:30 a.m.! Session Title: Translating Budgets and Finances: what you've always wanted to know! Session Track: Administration & Management Session Day/Time: Wednesday, 11:30 AM Session Room: Council Room Session Description: If you are a director without a finance background, then this program is for you! We will be discussing the basics and intricacies of budgeting and finances based on the issues that directly affect your daily work. *Rebecca Higgerson* Director Brandon Twp Public Library 304 South Street Ortonville MI 48462 248-627-1474 248-627-9880 (fax) *“We enhance and strengthen community by providing open access to educational information, recreational materials, and programs that enrich lives and promote lifelong learning.”*
