The spring conference raffle is scheduled for both days, so thank you to everyone who is contributing to the raffle – and be ready to buy those raffle tickets!

Thanks to the generosity of New Hampshire librarians, $525 was raised through the spring conference raffle at Attitash. Thank you to all the libraries, individuals, sections of NHLA and co-ops that donated either items for the raffle baskets or entire baskets! Thank you also to the librarians who purchased tickets over the course of the two day event. Annually, the money raised is designated for a fall conference speaker. Thanks again!

With the spring conference just two months away, it’s time for me to send out a plea for items for the raffle baskets. Last year we raised $600, which the NHLA board decided to earmark to fund fall conference speakers. If you’re feeling generous, please route your donations to:

Location: Lebanon

Van stop: Lebanon Public Library

If you could get them to me by May 18^th, that would be great.

Thanks! Sean/NHLA Ways and Mean

Thank you to everyone who contributed to the raffle – those who contributed baskets/items for the baskets, and also those who bought raffle tickets. We raised approximately $150 from the fall raffle, in addition to the $600 from the spring conference raffle. The NHLA Board recently decided to earmark this money for speakers at the fall conference, so you’ll see a direct benefit from this fundraising if you attend the fall conferences in the future. Thanks again!

At our last NHLA meeting, the board decided to use the money that we raise from our spring and fall conference raffles to bring in speakers that we might pass on otherwise due to cost factors. If your library, group, or just you yourself can donate some items for the fall conference raffle, you’ll be helping to bring in some great speakers! You can therefore expect these pleas for donations every six months or so (my apologies in advance).

Thanks again to everyone who donated items for the spring conference raffle. We raised over $600 from that effort. Also, thanks very much in advance to anyone who can send items for the upcoming raffle.
