Renton:
Budget $1,800,000.00
Items 190,000
Available Collection 4,000,000
Staff Members 38
Budget Cost per Item $9.47
Budget per Staff $47,368.42
As you can see it costs Renton less than half as much money to serve a book to it's patron, and it's costs over each staff member are also about half.
It's especially ironic to note that your Renton Library membership gives you access to all of KCLS's books, and because of good negotiation, at a cheaper rate then a KCLS member.
