The Library Dividend

Recently, State Library of QLD released an independently commissioned report on the value of libraries and services in QLD and the results were somewhat astounding.  For instance, did you know that for every $1 invested in libraries, the community gains an average of $2.30 worth of value?  What a fantastic return rate (if only all shares did that, we'd all be millionaires!)

And we're not just about books on shelves, you know.  There's a wide range of items available for loan and tech-savvy staff to help you access them.  As the days get hotter, why not come to your local library to enjoy the cool air con and welcoming spaces?  We've got lounges, magazines, newspapers and more for you to while away a few hours. 

Want to know more about what libraries achieve in the community?  Simply go to Public Libraries Connect and read the summary.
