Subject: [Michlib-l] Budget question
Importance: High

Hello everyone, and Happy New Year to all.  We are braving the blizzard, just like most of the rest of the State!

I need some help from other libraries.  I will going to our Township Board soon to ask for an increase in our annual operating budget for the coming fiscal year (yes, we are one of the last who receive a ‘negotiated’ yearly allocation rather than having a voted millage), and am hoping to have some data to share with them.

Can you please tell me the following information:

Total annual Operating Budget for most recent fiscal year:

Percentage (or amount) funded by funding municipality or voted millage:

Percentage (or amount) funded by Friends:

Percentage (or amount) funded by other donations:

Percentage (or amount) funded by State Aid & Penal Fines: 

Percentage (or amount) funded by in-house revenues (copies, fines, sales, etc): 

As always, I appreciate your help!
