Fast Facts: It’s no secret that public libraries provide essential services to their patrons and are important resources for their communities. Intrinsic values are easy to understand, but actual values can be difficult to quantify. For every dollar spent on public libraries in Colorado, how much is returned to the community? Approximately $5 – according to a study conducted by the Library Research Service (LRS). The LRS report, Public Libraries – A Wise Investment: A Return on Investment Study of Colorado Libraries details the results of a study utilizing a multiple case study approach to quantify the return on investment (ROI) to taxpayers for eight public libraries in Colorado. One of these is the Cortez Public Library! To read the full report, visit http://tinyurl.com/LRS2009LibraryStudy.
