Hi Everyone!! 

If you live in the San Diego area, a group of church librarians are getting together this Saturday. For details, click here.

WHAT’S NEW THIS WEEK?

Each summer we have a discussion about preparing a library budget. Last year we got two great responses. Or you can look through all the budget postings by typing Budget in the CLN search field.

For many of our church families, the Finance Committee has started the process to prepare the budget for the next year. Of course, many other churches start their budget process during other months. Let’s discuss best practices for preparing the church budget request for the library this year. Click here to share your wisdom from experience or your questions about the annual budget. Some of our members do not have access to their church’s budgeting process. Any wisdom for them?
