Financial management for libraries
2018
Book
Budgeting and finance are keys to implementing a successful library program. Unfortunately, most librarians don't have a strong background in budgeting and finance, and when required to prepare or revise a budget and/or financing plan are faced with challenges that seem formidable. This book is designed to give readers the opportunity to learn the basics of budgeting. -- from Introduction, page 2.
