A Paper for Discussion with the State Librarians of Connecticut, Maine, Massachuestts, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, and Vermont. Martin, Thomas J. And Others Braille Budgets Federal Programs Library Facilities Library Personnel Library Services Operating Expenses Public Libraries Special Libraries State Legislation Talking Books This discussion paper identifies how the New England Facility could be established to offer service for the blind and physically handicapped. Following a premise which outlines typical library services, the New England Facility is described in terms of its approach to service; facility size (total square footage); staffing needs and responsibilities; staffing costs; annual operating costs; apportionment of annual costs; and set-up costs. A summary of the costs concludes the main body of the paper. Appended materials include the fiscal year 1990 statistics for each of the New England states; a review of automation activities in each state; the title of the authorizing legislation for the regional libraries of each of the states; and the names of the compilers of this paper.
