The Evergreen ILS
Costs
Since 2016, member libraries have been charged an annual fee based on a tiered system reflecting a percentage of their annual expenditure. The following table represents the tiered fee structure approved by the Council in June 2014 together with current rates; these rates are subject to change annually. Funds are used to expand services and reduce reliance on grant funding.
