About Us: Collection & Services: Library
Value Calculator
What is your library worth to you?
How much would you pay out-of-pocket each year for your library services?
- Enter in the left hand column the number of times per month you or your family use each service.
- Estimated retail value of each service will be calculated on the right.
- Total value of your library use is shown at the bottom of the worksheet.
- Tip: Tab between entries and do not use commas.
The calculator worksheet has been adapted from the
downloadable
spreadsheet, originally provided by the
Massachusetts
Library Association and then adapted for the web by
Chelmsford
Public Library. Maine State Library added extra accessibility coding and
reformatting for ease of reading online.
