Ontario's public libraries provide significant value and return on investment to communities. Studies show that for every dollar invested in public libraries, they return an average of $5.41 in economic impact. Public libraries help support job seekers, small businesses, and low-income Ontarians' access to resources. They also help promote literacy and life-long learning through resources like books, e-books, programs, and online databases. Public libraries are adapting to changes in technology and community needs by providing services like makerspaces, WiFi access, and digital resources.
