The success of the SHARE program is based on satisfaction and support of members. While SHARE staff can explain details of how to join SHARE, including membership fees and benefits, referrals for new membership often come from other libraries.
SHARE would like to reward member libraries for promoting the program. If a library agency joins as a transitional member, and they have been referred by another member library, the referring library will receive a $300 credit on their SHARE membership account for the next SHARE fiscal year, July 1 – June 30. Each member library can receive two referral credits per the SHARE fiscal year. The referring library can also choose to transfer their referral credit as a gift to the new, transitional member.
With this program, the SHARE program will continue to encourage growth and member participation.
