I have a small salary, work technically 2 mornings a week, (unreality more hours). I have a small budget for books, supplies and the like. I managed to have it increased about 3 years ago but it has been stagnant since then. The salary comes from a bequest. When that runs out, no more salary, I've been told. And donations go back into the general budget to off set library expenses. So they are not beyond the basic budget. We have about 400 families and the library has been around for probably close to 100 years.
I am the volunteer librarian at another synagogue (209 families). No funds from synagogue budget. All expenses come from donations. It's a challenge. Hope this info helps.

(So grateful to have just been told about this site!) To answer a questionfrom a board member about other synagogue libraries’ sources of funding, wewould greatly appreciate a few words from you at other synagogues, as to where yours comes from. Are yougiven funding by the synagogue, or do you rely on contributions to a designatedfund among the choices for donors? Both? Do you use another source entirely? We are only just beginning to build our libraryfrom a small collection and space, and are just starting to ask – and be asked –such questions.
