I think it's a good thing that librarything gives me a way to talk to strangers about books that feels safer than approaching the drooling guy at the public library.

I remember trying to sell calendars as a public school fundraiser when I was about 8. Maybe they love the food bank but don’t care about the arts. Do they have children? If they are families with children, seek out events with activities for kids. That was me. It was HARD! And I decided I didn’t like fundraising.

Despite the herculean efforts many museums take to offer accessible, cool, inviting experiences to the public, the word museum is still laden with the ghost of "don't touch" past. Labeling your collection--however dinky--a museum puts it into a useful category that signals value, organization, and public presentation of the stuff.
