Friends of Libraries are non-profit, charitable groups formed to support libraries in communities. Friends of Libraries groups are often involved in fundraising, advocacy, volunteerism, public awareness campaigns, and literacy programs. The County of Los Angeles Public Library reports having "...77 Friends of the Library groups with over 5,523 members." ''Friends of Libraries'' groups are supported by a division of the American Library Association, called ''United for Libraries USA.'' The division was formed in 2009, when "''Friends of Libraries U.S.A. (FOLUSA)'' and the ''Association for Library Trustees and Advocates (ALTA)'' joined forces." ''United for Libraries USA'' provides many resources for Friends of Libraries groups. Some of the resources offered include:〔United for Libraries Resources for Friends Groups http://www.ala.org/united/friends〕 * Book club suggestions * Fact sheets that include tips on topics such as organizing a Friends Group, how to revitalize your Friends Group, and planning an author event * A listserv to share ideas * Free toolkits * Contact information for existing State Friends Groups ==See also== *Public Library Advocacy *History of Public Library Advocacy 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Friends of Libraries」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
