Dear Hasafranim,
I am in the all too recognizable position of having to scramble for funding and
donations after my budget has been slashed to, really, next to nothing.
I think one of my options is to start charging overdue fees, though I'm
reluctant due to logistics. I'm even more reluctant to start charging
membership fees. I have enough trouble getting people through the door as it
is. Nevertheless, anyone have any experience with these ideas for a small
congregation?
Another option is fundraising. I already put on a major used booksale once a
year and that brings in a couple hundred. Any other ideas out there for a
library director with no staff and a congregation stretched thin with other
fundraisers going on?
My final option would be some sort of grant, though I'm only aware of grants
that cover one-time events. Any ideas for a synagogue library in the Midwest?
Worried and frustrated,
Rachel Haus Library Director Congregation of Moses Library Kalamazoo MI
