Whether they\u2019re searching for special project money, general operating funds, or whatever, it\u2019s not very likely that you\u2019ll run across some library that\u2019s experiencing their best-case funding scenario. It\u2019s easy to understand why; there are seemingly unlimited reasons. Libraries, library administrators, librarians, and other library staff members find themselves pulled in so many different directions in terms of serving the needs and wants of their customer bases and communities, it scarcely even seems possible to articulate what all the needs and wants are&#8211;let alone nail down adequate funding to provide the services.<\/p>\n<p>This being the case, it\u2019s pretty difficult to imagine that having some experience&#8211;or at least some ideas and familiarity&#8211;with fundraising would be a bad thing to have on your resume. If you\u2019ve done grant research, proposal writing, or even volunteered your help for an organization\u2019s annual capital campaign, you have experience that could be very valuable to a potential employer. If you\u2019re totally new to fundraising, there\u2019s really no wrong place to start. So why not get your feet a little wet?
