The calculator worksheet has been adapted from the downloadable spreadsheet, originally provided by the Massachusetts Library Association and then adapted for the web by Chelmsford Public Library. This spreadsheet requires either Microsoft Excel or the Excel Viewer. Maine State Library added extra accessibility coding and reformatting for ease of reading online. Mount Laurel Public Library adjusted the categories and prices to better reflect the items and costs in New Jersey.
