4.0 out of 5 stars Review of Library Fundraising: Models for Success, May 30 2000
By 
P. Stringfellow (Remington, Indiana) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Library Fundraising: Models for Success (Paperback)
This book is a useful fundraising resource for librarians, fundraisers, students, and volunteers. Any person needing basic information about library fundraising would find this book helpful. This book contains case studies that point out library trends in alternative funding and illustrate some successful fundraising campaigns used by a variety of academic and public libraries to raise needed resources. Fundraising activities that this book addresses include: annual programs, special events, capital campaigns, developing endowments and foundations, and challenge grants. These case studies are important to librarians because they point out both the successes and failures that have transpired with actual real-life fundraising endeavors. The chapter entitled "A Capital Campaign for a Small Public Library" is particularly valuable as it discusses five steps that are essential to any successful fundraising campaign and explains how to know if you need the help of a professional fundraiser. It also explains how to select a chairperson for the fundraising committee and provides a job description fo this position. The chapter also provides a list of four reasons why this capital campaign was successful. The book points out the importance of fundrasing for libraries and details ways to obtain information on the topic. The book contains a bibliography which could be used to locate additional readings on fundraising. This book is recommended for individuals needing information on library development programs.

This review is from: Library Fundraising: Models for Success (Paperback)
Burlingame makes good use of actual case studies to illustrate successful library fundraising strategies employed in a variety of library settings. Challenge grants, endowments, foundations, fundraising campaigns, and trusts are discussed in relation to small college, public, and university libraries. One of the most valuable topics is the detailed discussion regarding project planning, definition of need, budget issues, and marketing. An updated edition of the book would be useful, with greater emphasis upon grant funds and proposal writing.
