Public Library Staff Compensation Survey

  • The purpose of the report is to provide staff salaries and position classification information to help library boards determine appropriate compensation to attract and retain the best possible employees for the positions. Prior to using the report, library directors are encouraged to review the Wisconsin Public Library Staff Compensation Summary Report and toolkit to effectively utilize the data presented in the report.
  • The complete report and toolkit are available on the System and Resource Library Administrators’ Association of Wisconsin website.
