I would not have survived this long if it wasn't for libraries. Libraries are a public good and a hedge for poorer an underserved communities that seek upwards mobility.

Strong assets to our communities. I credit local libraries for helping me build my interest in research

Really enjoyed reading this. St. Louis County, Missouri, has one of the best public library systems — and it’s not just about books. Libraries offer a wide range of free services to the community, including workshops and seminars for different age groups, computer labs, 3D printing, children’s educational sessions, indoor playgrounds, and spaces for working or socializing. From an economics perspective, these services increase household utility by providing valuable resources and experiences at no cost.
