We have begun the process of drafting operating agreements with our Friends Groups and I was wondering if I could also get some examples to help aid in the conversations. We had our legal representative do a presentation and Q&A; however, some are more reluctant
than others so any other suggestions or advise is appreciated. </div>

<div>My Board wanted to know if we have a contract with our Friends organization, and we do not. I'm thinking they might want us to draft one up. Do any other libraries have signed contracts with their Friends of the Library? If so, would you be so kind as
to share?</div>
