You saved
We would love to have the option to build into patron notices the 'You saved' amount similar to the receipt options.
You just saved [Value] by using your library. You have saved [YTDValue] this past year and [LifetimeValue] since you began using the library!

This would be terrific!
We are a Sierra library using Bibliotheca self-checkout machines for the majority of our circulation transactions, so adding this information isn't an option for us. We'd love to see it built into LX Starters notices, instead.
Not to get political, but the current federal government administration does not see the value in public libraries. And in Ohio, where I'm located, that apathy extends to the state government, which just tried to cut $100M from library budgets across the state.
Public libraries need all hands on deck in terms of ways of showing our value to the communities we serve. Putting a dollar value on what our users are borrowing from every day is a quick, blatant, & attention getting way of doing just that.
