The calculator worksheet has been adapted from a spreadsheet, originally provided by the Massachusetts Library Association and then adapted for the web by Chelmsford Public Library. The Maine State Library's version added extra accessibility coding and reformatting for ease of reading online. Great River Regional Library refined the categories to reflect our services.
