Library Use Value Calculator

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 lefthand column the number of times you and/or your family use each service PER MONTH. The estimated retail value of each service will be calculated on the right, and the total value of your library use both monthly and yearly is shown at the bottom of the worksheet.
