Libraries often have more potential supporters around them than they realize. My Library Support Map is a practical LSN tool that helps library staff, fundraisers, board members, Friends, and volunteers identify the people who already care about their library, those connected to it, and others who could become donors, advocates, connectors, or champions. Especially useful for libraries getting started with fundraising, the tool shifts the focus from fundraising tactics to relationships and helps users identify one person they can begin engaging now.
