Why investment in public libraries is essential to Canada’s post-pandemic recovery, competitiveness, and resilience

The GLAM Study Toolkit contains tips and tools to help professionals and institutions make further use of the findings in the Value Study of GLAMs In Canada.

IFLA has released a publication that reviews the way libraries have measured the value of their work and return on investment over the last ten years.

“For every dollar invested in these non-profit institutions, society gets nearly four dollars in benefits  — a return that is on par with government investments in transportation infrastructure projects.”

SLA is calling on employers to plan for the aftermath of the COVID-19 pandemic and both retain librarians and information professionals as employees and include them in post-pandemic plans.

The study will analyze the social and economic impacts of the sector on the basis of data provided by Canadian GLAMs as well as on the basis of a survey of the Canadian population.
