Value of Library Services

What is your Library Worth to you?

The Stevens Memorial Library represents less than 1% of the total municipal budget. To provide services to our community, the Library spends $29.11 a year per resident, less than the cost of one hard cover book. With these funds, we make available the entire public library system (370 libraries, networks and regions) of the state of Massachusetts. This wealth of resources includes books, magazines, newspapers, reference material, online databases, free Internet access, audio-visual collections and an abundance of resources that inform, entertain, and enrich the lives of North Andover residents. For this small investment, our Library provides significant cost savings each time you borrow from our collections, utilize one of our computer resources, or attend one of our programs, just to name a few of our many popular services. Stevens Memorial Library offers North Andover residents the best value for their tax dollars. Visit the Mass Library Association “Values Calculator” to determine how much our Library saves you and your family each visit, each week, or each month of each year.
