[Michlib-l] Friends of the Library

[Christine Hage]

There is a lot of good information on the Library of Michigan website.  For
Friends the following is provided by a statewide membership, provided by
the Library of Michigan, to United for Libraries.

Engaging Today's Volunteers for Libraries and Friends
<http://www.ala.org/AUTH/Shibboleth.sso/Login?target=http://www.ala.org/united/training/webinars/baby-boomers/courses>
is a three-part series of webcasts is designed to inform library Friends,
Trustees, and staff about this new generation of volunteers — how they are
different from volunteers in the past, what they want from service
opportunities, and how libraries and Friends can attract them.
