Budget

The budget is crucial to the success of the library. As many of you discovered when interviewing the school librarian and in examining services offered, librarians need to be capable of managing their budgets. For this week’s assignment, you will need to obtain a copy of a sample library’s budget and talk with the librarian or a budget officer from the campus or ISD.

There are two main areas of investigation for this assignment. The close-up picture is to understand the detail of how the library receives and spends its own budget. The bigger picture is to understand how the sample library’s budget compares with benchmarks, and to see the trends in library funding.

Follow these steps in completing this week’s assignment. Be sure to read Morris, Ch. 5 before you begin!

First: Obtain a copy of the sample library’s annual budget.

Second: Make an appointment with the librarian or a campus/ISD budget officer. Ask these questions:

What is the budget process that is used by the district and campus

Also ask this person how capital items, such as furniture and technology equipment, are budgeted. Is it within the library’s budget or done at a higher level?

What source(s) of revenue does the library have? Examples include regular funding from the district, fines and fees, local fundraising such as book fairs or sales, grants, and donations.

What is the trend for budget items – increasing, decreasing, or level? (see next part of assignment below).

Third: Now it is time to analyze the library budget:

Referring to Exhibit 5.1 in Morris, use the list of Object Code Descriptions to identify how your sample library’s budget is spent. Using the information about the trend (i.e., whether each category had increased, decreased, or was the same as the prior year), add another column to indicate this with a plus sign “+” for increase, a minus sign “-“ for decrease, or equal sign “=” if it remained the same.

Example:
Object Code Description

Amount

Trend

Purchase of computer hardware

$1,800.00

+

Instructional Supplies and Materials

$185.00

=

and so on, listing all of the object code descriptions.

Fourth: Now for the benchmark comparison. Read these two online sources on library expenditures: the American Association of School Librarians (AASL) report School Libraries Count (2011); and the annual survey reported by School Library Journal (March 2012).

Now compute the expenditure per student on information resources in your sample library. Use AASL’s definition from p. 12 of School Libraries Count (2011): “print and non-print materials, licensed databases, and other electronic access to information.” How does your library’s figure compare with the average figure from the 2012 article in School Library Journal? Did your library’s expenditures also reflect a decrease in materials expenditures, as the national averages show?

Fifth: Finally, identify in one or two paragraphs your strategy to increase funding for your library. For example, this might be a proposal to campus or district administration to fund materials and programming targeted at boosting reading scores for a specific population within the school. It could be a collaboration with the PTA to raise funds for a multimedia studio. It might entail submitting a grant (see below) to accomplish your worthy goal. Be specific and focus on one idea.
