| Abstract: | This report highlights findings from the Fiscal Year (FY) 2022 State Library Administrative Agencies (SLAA) Survey, which collects financial, staffing, and service information from every SLAA in the 50 states and the District of Columbia. This report organizes its findings into three areas: financial health, workforce, and services provided by SLAAs to public, academic, school, and special libraries and to library cooperatives. Around financial health, the report seeks to answer how revenue and expenditure levels for SLAAs have changed since the last report, over time, and for what reasons. It also examines (1) the relationship between revenue and grants provided by the SLAA; and, (2) within staffing expenditures, changes in the ratio between salaries and benefits over time. For workforce, the report presents findings on SLAA staffing levels, distribution of types of roles within the organizations, and how staff expenditures have changed over time--particularly, the ratio between salaries and benefits over time. Finally, the last portion of the report is dedicated to describing how services provided by SLAAs have changed over time, highlighting emerging services that they are offering. The descriptive findings in this report show that SLAAs are resourceful and responsive to changes in the needs of their communities and to the availability of funding. They adopt new practices and adapt to emerging technology and innovative ways of providing services to their communities. |
