Sally Reed Shares Information for Library Supporters

I’m attending the Library Commission’s weekly NCompass Live session and Sally Reed is sharing tons of information for library boards of trustees, friends groups, foundations, and other library supporters. Sally Reed is the Executive Director of the American Library Association’s newly re-designed Association of Library Trustees, Advocates, Friends and Foundations (ALTAFF). ALTAFF is the result of the merger of Friends of Libraries USA (FOLUSA), which Reed headed, and the former Association of Library Trustees and Advocates (ALTA). Sally is a great speaker and this session will be archived and available as a recording from the Commission Website. She is pointing out the benefits of Nebraska’s unique statewide ALTAFF membership (funded by the Nebraska Library Commission)–how this membership can benefit Nebraska – its libraries and people. (More information at http://nlc.nebraska.gov/trustees/altaff/altaff.aspx) To access the resources, contact the Nebraska Library Commission Reference and Information Services for username and password at 402-471-4016 or 800-307-2665; e-mail. Sally also encourages all Nebraska library supporters to join the listerv at www.folusa.org. I think that some of the free toolkits available at www.folusa.org (through funding from the Nebraska Library Commission) sound really valuable, including toolkits on pricing and selling books online.
