Along with professional library staff there are three other groups made up of citizens who enjoy and appreciate their libraries. The groups: Friends of the Libraries, Library Foundations, and Library Trustees or Library Boards, each work to support their libraries, but usually have different functions and work separately rather than partnering. This session will discuss how these three types of organizations work together to better serve their communities and their libraries. This is a joint effort of MALF and MLTA.
