As a library director, what does one do when the circulation
department insists an unreasonable number of books must be
replaced, the children's department needs more money for summer
reading programs and the maintenance director claims the HVAC
system will not survive another year? Responsible for an
ever-increasing number of media formats and public service
programs, library directors today must also create and maintain an
intricate and continually challenging budget. Compiled from
firsthand experience, this easy-to-read guide contains a plethora
of information regarding financial management that is especially
relevant to library administration. Beginning with creating an
operating budget, the work discusses various revenue sources which
may be useful in meeting financial obligations. The reader is also
walked through the intricacies of the purchasing process, from
day-to-day supplies and books to major projects. Additional topics
include building library facilities, the practical side of
auditing, and strategies for dealing with a limited budget.
Appendices contain information on coding a line item budget and a
copy of a library district gift policy. This is a must-read for any
up-and-coming library administrator!
