 With the publication of the Certification of the Table of Equalized Valuation  
 for 2008 in October 2008, each library can determine the amount of municipal   
 support necessary during 2009 to achieve particular per capita state library   
 aid categories ($.50 to $1.50).  The support can include dedicated tax         
 payments in those counties where the municipality contributes to the           
 support of a county library system, expenses incurred by the municipality in   
 support of the public library not specifically appropriated to the             
 library, and the budgeted appropriation.                                       
                                                                                
 The total municipal support during 2009 is divided by the 2008 Equalized       
 Valuation in calculating the per capita aid to be paid in October 2010.        
 Based on the 2008 Equalized Valuation for your municipality                    
 (      $564,150,455), the minimum municipal support needed:                    
                                                                                
         To earn $.50 per capita is         $44,474                             
         To earn $.75 per capita is        $112,830

 The 1/3 mil funding level is $1.25.  The alternate minimum for municipal       
 libraries is prior year 1/3 mill plus 15%, (  $212,240), and will              
 earn $1.25 per capita.                                                         
                                                                                
 It is not possible for the State Library to estimate the apportionment         
 of per capita aid for those libraries which are members of a county            
 library.  The additional amounts expended by the county library which are      
 credited to the member municipalities in their total expenses also cannot      
 be calculated as it varies from year to year.

 With the publication of the Certification of the Table of Equalized Valuation  
 for 2008 in October 2008, each library can determine the amount of municipal   
 support necessary during 2009 to achieve particular per capita state library   
 aid categories ($.50 to $1.50).  The support can include dedicated tax         
 payments in those counties where the municipality contributes to the           
 support of a county library system, expenses incurred by the municipality in   
 support of the public library not specifically appropriated to the             
 library, and the budgeted appropriation.                                       
                                                                                
 The total municipal support during 2009 is divided by the 2008 Equalized       
 Valuation in calculating the per capita aid to be paid in October 2010.        
 Based on the 2008 Equalized Valuation for your municipality                    
 (      $125,668,287), the minimum municipal support needed:

 The 1/3 mil funding level is $1.25.  The alternate minimum for municipal       
 libraries is prior year 1/3 mill plus 15%, (   $32,873), and will              
 earn $1.00 per capita.                                                         
                                                                                
 It is not possible for the State Library to estimate the apportionment         
 of per capita aid for those libraries which are members of a county            
 library.  The additional amounts expended by the county library which are      
 credited to the member municipalities in their total expenses also cannot
