State Library Releases Study Showing $2.4 Billion in Economic Benefits from Texas Public Libraries
Geek the Library just released a study by the Texas State Library and Archives Commission that demonstrates the economic value and benefit of public libraries. The study encompasses libraries of all sizes–including small and rural public libraries–finding a resounding benefit to local economies and quality of life. As part of ongoing advocacy, Geek the Library also published this recent case study of public library advocacy.
As a writer about rural life, I know that the library is the heart–the very heart–of every community.
But especially a rural one.
