摘要

為了有效提供全面的服務，美國圖書館接受非政府基金資助已有很長的歷史，在政府補助不足的情形下，公共圖書館是有其必要尋找多元化的資金來源。公共圖書館雇用愈來愈多的籌募經費專家，為圖書館建立一套極具效率的籌款計畫，除了針對圖書館型態設計經濟策略，同時也尋找有潛力的財團組織。美國公共圖書館多以成立不須納稅的非營利基金會，或是「圖書館之友」，讓基金會和企業財團藉著贊助圖書館活動，達到服務社區的目的。

Historically American libraries have accepted non-governmental funding in order to provide expanded services. In light of decreased tax-based support, there is a need on the part of public libraries to locate and secure alternative sources of revenue. Public libraries are increasingly employing fundraising professionals to facilitate the fund raising process by devising an economic plan and identifying potential donors. Library foundations are tax-exempt entities dedicated to raising library funds, and may work in conjunction with ”Friends of the Library” Groups. Foundations and corporations may be generous contributors to the Library with worthy community based programs.
