Part I: Funding for youth services - how to do it and where to find it

No one ever said that part of the job of a young adult librarian would be fund-raising. I took all the courses needed to best serve young people but mention was never made in any course, by any teacher, of how one goes about getting funding for programs and materials that are not included in the regular library budget. Nor did anyone ever suggest that, in fact, that is part of a librarian's job. Evidently no one predicted that it would be necessary. So why is it a special issues session at this institute?Institute sponsored by University of Illinois, Graduate School of Library and Information Science, cosponsored by the Youth Divisions of the American Library Association: American Association of School Librarians (AASL), Association for Library Service to Children (ALSC), Young Adult Services Division (YASD)published or submitted for publicatio
