School Libraries and Information Literacy FAQs
Budgets for school libraries
How do I prepare a budget for my school library?
The first step is to determine what the school policy is for preparing a budget. Talking with the principal or examining current school documentation is a good starting point. Many schools have a budget proforma that you would be required to use. Working with a Library committee, key learning area (KLA) committees, grade or faculty groups can help to develop a library budget which reflects the needs and priorities of the Department and the school. Your understanding of the strengths and weaknesses of the library collection, including technology, will provide valuable information in this process.
