Public Library serious about raising money; Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, 2/17/11

Kaitlynn Riely, Pittsburgh Post-Gazette; Mt. Lebanon Public Library serious about raising money:

"Faced with funding cuts in recent years and preparing for further cuts in the future, the Mt. Lebanon Public Library plans to hone its fundraising efforts to fill in the gaps.

The library has contracted with a fundraising consultant, who made several suggestions library director Cynthia Richey said she hoped would propel the library toward its goal of collecting $300,000 to $400,000 in donations over the next three years.

"I think more libraries will be doing this as the traditional government funding streams are reduced, because it's a matter of survival," Ms. Richey said."
