monthly retail value of each service will be calculated on the right, and the total monthly value of your
library use is shown at the bottom of the worksheet.
The calculator web page has been adapted from a
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
