Some years ago, I was talking to a city official about the need to expand our library space in Costa Mesa. I was told that libraries didnt produce money, so it was hard to get the public to invest in a bond issue. I wish I had known then what I have since learned: that libraries do bring a strong return on investment to the community. For instance, a 2013 study of the economic benefits of Florida public libraries judged that the return on investment for each $1 spent on those libraries was $10.18. The study was funded by the federal Institute of Museum and Libraries Services and administered by the state of Floridas Division of Library and Information Services.
