Eau Claire County Library Contract Agreement

Altoona Public Library participates in the Eau Claire County Library Contract Agreement which compensates libraries for use by non-residents. Currently, Altoona residents pay $3.24 per item checked out directly from the Eau Claire Public Library (10 items x $3.24 = $32.40). It adds up fast! Please remember, the city is not assessed $3.24 per item if you reserve books, videos, CDs, DVDs, and magazines through the MORE system and choose Altoona as the pick-up location. However, if you reserve items online and pick them up at the Eau Claire Library the per-item charge will still apply. Save time, save parking fees, and log onto www.more.lib.wi.us to reserve library materials and choose Altoona as the pick-up location. You may also call the library at 839-5029 for assistance in placing a reserve.

Only you can help us save this money that could be used to purchase materials for the Altoona Library.

*Where did these numbers come from? -- Per capita expenditures were collected from Wisconsin's 2010 Public Library Statistics, compiled by the State Division for Libraries, Technology and Community Learning (DLTCL). The return on investment is calculated by dividing each library's annual per capita expenditure by 12 (the number of months) to get a monthly per capita expenditure. The formula then divides the total value received each month by the monthly per capita expenditure.

This calculator is an adaptation of projects by the Maine State Library and Library Research Service, a unit of the Colorado State Library and the Colorado Department of Education that is operated in partnership with the Library and Information Science (LIS) Program, Morgridge College of Education, University of Denver.
