    Area of Science:

    • Library and Information Science
    • Public Administration
    • Financial Management

    Background:

    • Traditional budgeting methods often lack flexibility and fail to align with evolving library needs.
    • Implementing effective financial management is crucial for library sustainability and service delivery.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To describe the application and procedures of zero-base budgeting (ZBB) specifically within a library context.
    • To explore the creation, ranking, and challenges associated with ZBB decision packages in libraries.

    Main Methods:

    • Detailed description of the zero-base budgeting process tailored for library operations.
    • Explanation of 'decision packages' and their role in resource allocation.
    • Discussion on ranking methodologies for prioritizing library initiatives.

    Main Results:

    • Zero-base budgeting requires comprehensive staff involvement, fostering a more engaged and realistic budgeting process.
    • The system facilitates a critical evaluation of all library functions and expenditures.
    • Identified potential challenges and significant advantages of implementing ZBB in libraries.

    Conclusions:

    • Zero-base budgeting offers a structured approach to library financial planning, promoting efficiency and accountability.
    • The system's success depends on thorough implementation, staff buy-in, and clear prioritization of decision packages.
    • ZBB can lead to more optimized resource allocation and a stronger justification for library funding.
