For salary expenses in the fiscal year, do I use the budgeted amount, or actual expenditures?
Use actual expenditures. That way you will have a record of what really happened. Labor is a vital determinate to the level of services a library can offer. A budget is only a potential. Actual expenditures would reflect freezes and vacancies, which would be echoed by the level of such measures as open hours, reference, programming, etc.
