Fundraising - seeking ideas that work for small libraries

Can you describe a successful fundraising event held by your library
or Friends of the Library? What practical tips can you offer to
others? What lessons were learned?

Visit the website of Friends of Canadian Libraries and contribute
ideas, documents and links: Please think about what you can
contribute, so that we can share more resources, expertise and ideas (http://www.accessola.com/focal/fundraising.html).

I have also started a blog, http://www.libraryng.com/, and welcome a
dialogue on this topic.
