Description: As part of the Libraries in Community Systems study of library service value, this project examines data from US public library local funding referendums. It will go through four major phases: replicate the 2020 publication "Factors of Success for Libraries on the Ballot: 2014 - 2018" (McNutt, Yang, Chrastka, 2021: https://www.everylibraryinstitute.org/factors_of_success_report); extend replication to vote years 2011 - 2022 with additional community environment variables; analyze single referendums with precinct level data for probability (log-odds) consistency and attempt to derive willingness-to-pay; if willingness to pay can be derived from single referendums, those results are shared.
