The most effective Boards have highly effective organizational structure. Whether starting a new Friends group or engaging in a strategic planning process to revitalize your Friends or Library, you can learn from others' mission statements, policies, and bylaws. You don't have to develop or improve your structure from scratch. FOLUSA has provided you with samples that you can modify or copy for your own use.

NEW! Previously a member benefit, the Model Friends Cooperative Network is now available for your reference. This tool will help you define the roles of the Friends, Trustees, and library staff in working together to support the library. An in-depth version of this table with full explanations of each category is available to our All-in-One members.
