Georgia's libraries and media centers win the lottery!

Abstract

Formal, planned communication between all types of libraries and “telling the state's library story” resulted in the largest single appropriation of new money to libraries, from the state lottery, in Georgia history. This climax follows a string of funding accomplishments including a 20 percent increase in materials grants, maintenance, and operating funds over an eight‐year period. Describes the strategies so successfully used at the state level to communicate funding needs and increase library capital and operating funds.
