Hello,

Does anyone have experience "growing" a Friends of the Library group?

I am a branch manager of a library whose Friends group has died.  We have 
one couple who still take care of the accounting from our Friends used book 
sale room, which brings in enough every year to finance our children's 
summer reading program and buying a large order of popular adult fiction 
once or twice a year. This from a book room which is sadly neglected from 
spotty attention. They really would like to pass this responsibility off 
since they are getting on in years and health isn't what it used to be.

If anyone could take me through the steps used to attract new members and 
find someone to take over presiding over the group, can you email me off 
list?

Thanks,
Terri
