Hello Perri, I saw your message to MichLib-L this morning. I have attached an Excel spreadsheet showing the % of Library Expenditure spent on staffing, in a table format. This data is from our most recently available Annual Report Data collected for the FY 2020/2021 reporting period. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me. Thank you, Joe Joseph Hamlin Library Data Coordinator Library of Michigan 702 West Kalamazoo St. P.O.

Please send suspicious emails to abuse@michigan.gov<mailto:abuse@michigan.gov> We're class II, but I'm interested in all sizes of libraries: What percentage of your total budget accounts for wages and benefits? I want to stay in line with the norm, but I don't know what the norm is. Thanks so much, Perri -- Perri Saunders, Director White Pigeon Township Library 102 N. Kalamazoo St., P.O.
