The Value of Your Library

Curious how much the services the library provides you would cost if you had to pay for them directly? To find out, just enter in the left hand column the number of times you or your family use each service listed down the center (weekly, monthly, or yearly; you decide). The estimated retail value of each service will be calculated on the right, and the total value of your library use is shown at the bottom of the worksheet - and let us know what you think about our library service using the comments form at the bottom of the page.
