This is not surprising to anyone who loves libraries, of course!

The Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS) posted an article about the study, which researched the impact of both public libraries and museums. 

They found that libraries and museums impact communities similarly, and noted the roles that they play:

IMLS summarized some of the findings from the study:

All of us who use, work in, and love libraries know these things of course. We see it everyday.

At Pima County Public Library, we see this work reflected in our Community Impact Plan, in our Mission, Vision, and Values, and in the services and programs we provide.

Even though we've had to scale back during the pandemic, rest assured we will offer a full array of the services you love in the future.
