Perri, We are a Class V library and I try to stay between 50-60% of revenues. For my 2022-23 budget (beginning July 1) it is 55%. I have been keeping track of Personnel Costs and other costs over the years for comparisons from year to year. Hope that helps, Patty Patty Braden Director Romulus Public Library 11121 Wayne Road Romulus, MI 48174 734-955-4516 www.romuluslibrary.org From: "michlib-l" <michlib-l@mcls.org> To: "michlib-l" <michlib-l@mcls.org> Sent: Monday, April 18, 2022 9:29:08 AM Subject: [Michlib-l] wage percentage of budget 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.
