Library fundraising involves efforts to raise money to support library services, programs, and resources. This can include activities like book sales, donation drives, and grant applications. Libraries often rely on community support to enhance their offerings, such as purchasing new books, upgrading technology, or funding educational programs. Many libraries have dedicated friends of the library groups that organize fundraising events and advocate for library needs. These initiatives not only help secure necessary funds but also foster community engagement and awareness about the importance of libraries in promoting literacy and lifelong learning.
