Calling all museum, library, and cultural staff members! With the goal to continue a dialogue, I want to start with a question. What are some of the biggest struggles facing your museum or library today?
Some museums have overcrowded storage areas, and struggle to find additional storage space.
Some institutions have struggled with funding for collections care in the economic downturn. Some may struggle to train staff or educate their board of trustees.
Others may be testing new ways to attract and engage more visitors.
So, let us know! What is one of the primary struggles at your cultural institution?

Laura — our library collections include “rare books” and a nice art collection. We are fairly well heat and humidity controlled — not to the extend of museums,
but you could do info on the “tween” collectors, not the big guys or purists.
Lighting fixtures and natural light on the paintingS are a real concern for us too.
