We have a WestFest activity and the Friends of the Marathon Public Library have the childrens carnival games to raise money. We also do a quilt raffel for donations.

Consider the alumni from local schools who may have left the area--some have made it big! Ask the local High School if they will share their alumni database (send appeal to those outside the area who have not seen your local fundraisers). If the school will not share their database, perhaps they will permit you to put an appeal in the alumni newsletter. Many of those who have left rural areas still have a heart for their hometowns.

I've begun to collect all of the great <a href="/do/DisplayContent?id=13289">rural funding ideas</a> that are coming out of the brainstorming sessions happening at Rural Library Sustainability workshops throughout the country. If you see something missing, please post the ideas and resources here, and I'll add them to the list. Thanks for all your great work!
