[CALIBK12] Fundraising ideas

[Mary Mayhew]

We made between $300.00 to $500.00 doing a once a month aluminum can and
water bottle recycling program.  All of the proceeds went to the
library.  The hard part is finding a few trustworthy parents with trucks
to bring it all to the recycling center.  They usually come back with
cash and it all goes into the library fund for books. The kids love the
ownership of generating funding for more books and it instills in them
the need to improve our environment too.  Good luck!

Hello!

 

After losing our funds last year and knowing the budget situation for
this year I am desperate for some help in buying a few new books...

 

So, please send me your best ongoing fundraising idea!  What creative
methods have you used to earn a few extra library dollars?

 

I'm hoping to get something going but am not sure where to start.  I am
in a high school library so would love suggestions focusing on this
level but will take all ideas and compile a list.

 

Thanks!
