Or, you could just look at this spreadsheet.
(1) (a) 1. [Formula] Determine the percentage change in the total amount
appropriated under s. 20.255 (3) (qm) between the previous fiscal
year and the current fiscal year, except that for the 2009−10 fiscal
year, determine the percentage change in the total amount appropriated under s. 20.255 (3) (e), 2007 stats., and s. 20.255 (3) (qm)
in the previous fiscal year, and s. 20.255 (3) (qm) in the current fiscal year.
(1) (a) 2. Multiply the amount of state aid received by the system in
the previous fiscal year by the sum of 1.0 and the result under
subd. 1. expressed as a decimal.
(1) (b) If the territory of a public library system is altered, the
department shall adjust the aid paid to that system under par. (a).
The department shall promulgate rules establishing the method
the department will use to make the adjustment.
(1) (c) Beginning in the fiscal year in which the total amount of
state aid appropriated for public library systems under s. 20.255
(3) (qm), as determined by the department, equals at least 11.25%
of the total operating expenditures for public library services from
local and county sources in the calendar year ending in that fiscal
year, the amount paid to each system shall be determined by adding the result of each of the following calculations:
(1) (c) 1. Multiply the system’s percentage of the state’s population
by the product of the amount appropriated under s. 20.255 (3)
(qm) and 0.85.
(1) (c) 2. Multiply the system’s percentage of the state’s geographical area by the product of the amount appropriated under s. 20.255
(3) (qm) and 0.075.
(1) (c) 3.
Divide the sum of the payments to the municipalities and
counties in the system under subch. I of ch. 79 for the current fiscal
year, as reflected in the statement of estimated payments under s.
79.015, by the total of all payments under subch. I of ch. 79 for the
current fiscal year, as reflected in the statement of estimated payments under s. 79.015, and multiply the result by the product of
the amount appropriated under s. 20.255 (3) (qm) and 0.075.

the interlibrary loan of materials among all participating public
libraries, as evidenced by agreements with those libraries.

libraries in the system area, which results in agreements with those
libraries for the appropriate sharing of library resources to benefit

libraries and other types of libraries in the area in regard to library
technology and the sharing of resources. By January 1, 2000, and
by every 5th January 1 thereafter, the public library system shall
submit to the division a written plan for library technology and the
sharing of resources.
(2) (n) That, if the system reimburses a participating public library
for the costs of providing interlibrary borrowing services to an
individual who holds a valid borrower’s card of another participating public library, the reimbursement shall not exceed the
actual costs incurred by the public library in providing such services. The department shall promulgate rules for determining
actual costs for the purposes of this paragraph.

year is insufficient to pay the full amount under sub. (1), state aid
payments shall be prorated among the library systems entitled to
such aid.

adjustment of aids, as necessary, that no more than 20% of the
