Carl Bloom Associates Finds Public Libraries' Fundraising Results Still Good Despite Bad Economy

Carl Bloom, President and Founder of CBA, says successful libraries and other non-profits “stress the value of the organization and its good work for their communities ; as providing the most ‘bang for the buck’ when giving choices have to be made.”

Mr. Bloom cites recent media coverage of big increases in library usage for everything from free internet access and job listings to a higher demand for inexpensive entertainment such as video and book rentals, while at the same time they experience a freefall in government funding.
