The total funds and resources available to Bloggington library service are
£3.8m from the Council and
£0.4m from library users in the form of dvd rentals etc
Making a revenue total of £4.2m per annum
In addition the council normally provides £250,000 pa for capital expenditure
Mr Grimsdyke spends the £4.2m approximately as follows
£1m for books, other items, software and the materials for the public
£0.8m for all the costs associated with the library buildings
£1.6m for staff: apart from Mr Grimsdyke everyone else is on the crew of one library or another
£0.6m for equipment for operating the libraries

He spends the £250,000 capital on a rolling programme of renovation around the city libraries, to keep them all in top order.
