Organizational Membership Launches June 1st 2026

LSN News

The Library Support Network is preparing for an important next step.

Beginning June 1, 2026, libraries, library foundations, Friends groups, and other organizations engaged in public library fundraising will be invited to join LSN as paid Organizational Members.

This new membership model reflects what LSN has been building since its pilot phase: a practical, peer-powered space where the people responsible for library fundraising can connect, learn, share tools, and strengthen their work.

Organizational Membership is designed for teams. When an organization joins, staff, board members, and affiliated leaders can participate under one membership, making it easier to bring more people into LSN’s programs, resources, and peer community.

Free community access will continue. LSN remains committed to accessible entry points for people across the field, especially those working in small and rural libraries or organizations with limited fundraising capacity. Paid membership will offer expanded benefits for organizations ready for deeper engagement and shared investment in LSN’s future.

More details about benefits, dues, and how to join will be shared soon. For now, mark June 1, 2026, as the official launch of LSN Organizational Membership.
