Summary Explanation/Background
We conducted a review of public usage of the Alvin Sherman Library as required by the Nova Southeastern University Joint-Use Library Agreement (Agreement).
Our objectives were to calculate the percentage of public usage for the Joint Use Library to determine the percentage of annual operating expenses for which the County is responsible per the Agreement for the period July 1, 2022, through June 30, 2027, and to determine whether the process for collecting and reporting the measures of public usage at the Joint-Use Library for the review period is adequate.
We conclude that percentage of public usage for the Joint-Use Library based on circulation is 61%. According to the Agreement, we conclude the County is responsible for 50% of the annual operating expenses for the period July 1, 2022, through June 30, 2027. We conclude the process for collecting and reporting the measures of public usage at the Joint-Use Library for the review period is adequate.
We appreciate the cooperation and assistance provided by Nova Southeastern University and Broward County Libraries Division throughout our review process.
