Personal Library Savings Calculator
 

Have you ever wondered how much your Winter Park Public Library card is worth to your family?  What if you didn't have the Library and had to buy or rent the equivalent goods and services in the local community?  Last year, Winter Park Library patrons had over 531,000 checkouts with an estimated "value" of more than $6.1 million.  That's a lot of savings from an organization with a budget of less than half that amount. 

Use the calculator below to estimate how much your library card is worth to you!  Enter your library usage per week, month or year to see how much your family saved during that time period.

The calculator worksheet has been adapted from the downloadable spreadsheet, originally provided by the Massachusetts Library Association and then adapted for the Web by Chelmsford Public Library. Maine State Library added extra accessibility coding and reformatting for ease of reading online. This spreadsheet requires either Microsoft Excel or the free Excel Viewer.  The State Library and Archives of Florida would like to thank the Maine State Library for giving permission to adapt the calculator for Florida use.
