Where did these numbers come from?
Typical taxpayer contributions are determined from the library"s 2014 local income per capita. For libraries in Coventry, Connecticut, this can be found at CT State Library Statistics.

This calculator was created using code from the Library Research Service with assistance from the value of library service figures from Maine State Library"s Library Use Value Calculator which was based on work done by the Massachusettes Library Associaton and the Chelmsford Public Library. For more information, see Main State Library's explanation.
