What kind of library are you thinking? Public libraries are free.
- khedoros1 9y agoAren't they ultimately paid for by taxes? If so, that's not free. I'd be interested in knowing where they got the $80 number from, though.
- problems 9y agoMy city's tax website includes a breakdown.
- apetresc 9y agoMy guess is he's reverse-engineering that number from taxes allocated to public libraries or something like that.
- Veratyr 9y agoLooking at my own public library, the city spends $5.7m per year for libraries serving 90000 people ($63/pp). That's 2.85% of the city's total revenue, which comes from sales tax, property tax and business license tax. It's a small cost but you are paying it.
