Just as you are beginning to think about getting a new budget proposal put together this pops up from the Maine State Libraries. How cool is this? A library value calculator! And, you can use their template to adapt the calculator to your own library! (just scroll to the bottom of the page to find out how to do that) Though it does require some html it can also be used 'as is'. I envision some fun uses with this one: put it on your website for your patrons to use so they can easily see how much they're getting out of their local library. Or... email a link to your city council members so they get the full implication of exactly how much you provide. When presenting a budget request to your council, board members, etc. you could have them use something similar to this even in paper form. You probably have plenty of ideas of how this could be used. Please share!
