Insurance on Library Contents

One Northwest library director recently asked our office about how other libraries determine the right amount of insurance to carry on the building's contents. Knowing that many libraries use the BOWKER ANNUAL to help with average book prices in various categories...but what about the rest of the library's furniture and fixtures?

A good question, indeed! So I turned to actual practitioners out there: starting with our group of back-up reference libraries, along with our Advisory Council. Just click on "comments" to read several thoughtful answers from your colleagues in Northwest Iowa libraries.
