How Much is Your Library Worth?

For several years a Library Value Calculator has been kicked around on the Internet. The South Carolina State Library has created one for South Carolina library users. From the State Library:

How much do you pay out-of-pocket for the services your local library offers - $5, $10, or $15, or more? You might be surprised by what you find out by using the State Library’s new Library Value Calculator.
Library patrons can now visit the South Carolina Library Value Calculator and find out how much the library services used during a month equal in real dollar amounts. The calculator was adapted from the original Library Service Calculator provided by the Massachusetts Library Association. Visit http://www.statelibrary.sc.gov/library-use-calculator and see how much your library’s services are worth to you!
