Impact Reports
Georgia Public Library Service asked the University of Georgia’s Carl Vinson Institute of Government to evaluate the economic impact of the state’s public libraries and to estimate the value of services received by the citizens of the state in return for the dollars provided in the form of budget allocations from state and local governments, and grants from the state and federal governments.
Libraries change lives
Everyday, public libraries are helping Georgians learn new skills, start businesses, get jobs, and connect with their families and communities.
