FUND RAISING: PANACEA OR HORNETS' NEST?

Abstract

Does public financial support of libraries in the form of tax dollars suffer when private fund‐raising efforts are successful—or does the opposite occur? Does private money mean that tax dollars will erode? Does private support provide an escape route for public authorities when a municipality must decide on the library's budget? Heresy, perhaps, to raise these questions, but what is the real impact of libraries' private sector fund raising? Is it worth the effort?
