About the Editor and Contributors
M. Sandra Wood has gathered an excellent collection of articles to inspire academic and public librarians the quest to raise funds for their libraries at a time when many sources of income are shrinking. . . .this book is primarily intended for professional librarians who work in academic and public library settings and is an excellent source of creative ideas for that audience.

This would be an extremely helpful book for librarians who have never done fundraising to find out what is involved before trying it for the first time.

Sandy Wood’s Successful Library Fundraising: Best Practices is required reading for those who do library development work either full time or part time as well as library directors, Friend’s groups, advisory and governing Boards, foundation staff and Boards, and anyone involved in library PR and marketing. The best practices presented here offer not only new ideas of value to all types and sizes of libraries, but also new ideas matched to new modes and methods of delivery. Both those new to development and seasoned development professionals will learn about the very best in planning single events down to the last detail for maximum effect, long term campaigns with million dollar goals, and successful practices for establishing and maintaining donor relationships. Too busy raising money to read the entire book? Don’t miss the chapters on Duke University and digital philanthropy.
