Whether you’re a newly minted library staffer responsible for the budget for Summer Reading, a Director concerned with making the most of your budget, or have budgeting responsibilities somewhere in between, budgeting can be intimidating.

You’ll leave with practical ideas (and tools!) that will make working with the budget a pleasure rather than a chore.
