Highland budget

From Kent Slade, February 26, 2008:

We lease books from McNaughton. There are other leasing companies out there, but they seem to be the most common. They also lease audio books, DVDs, and children’s materials as well. The cost depends on how many titles you want. Our plan is for 400 titles in the core collection and 20 books per month (under $26.01). The annual cost for the plan is $3,625.00.

Our budget (2008-09) is:

Salaries & Benefits: $136,080
Supplies $51,492
Equipment $6,250
Capital (one-time) Outlay $300,000
TOTAL: $493,822

The supplies budget included our ILS, office supplies, library supplies, library equipment, furniture, technology, OCLC, Travel & training, and Programs.

Equipment included photocopier, and computers.
