How Much Is Your Library Worth?
Have you ever wondered how much the materials and services the library provides you would cost if you had to pay for them directly? With our library value calculator, you can actually get an idea, in dollars and “sense,” how much the library contributes to your personal savings. The average Fort Worth resident only contributes about $24.00 in taxes, per year, to fund the library and its services. See for yourself what a great value you're getting for your money!
