In a time when education is increasingly expensive, public libraries provide information and educational opportunities free for all people, regardless of their socioeconomic status.

Through library collections, programs, and physical spaces, children learn to share, to be engaged in their communities, to participate in the arts, and to explore their immediate world and the world at large.
Serves as a catalyst to addressing social problems:
Public librarians know their communities firsthand, and are often the first to recognize a pressing local need, simply because they interact on a daily basis with patrons from all walks of life.

Libraries provide access to non-mainstream points of view and give voice to local artists.
Public libraries strive to provide collections and services that represent various points of view, and often work closely with local artists to do so.
Archives preserve historic artifacts, oral histories, digital history projects, and monographs relevant to the community, including minority groups.
Communities lucky enough to have archivists have a great advantage when it comes to organizing historical records and artifacts. An organized archive is a place where people can research genealogy and immigration history, do environmental research, and more
Substance Libraries have many services and products that bring substance and stability to users and the communities they reside in. What libraries now need is a way to attract a larger majority of people to use and support libraries by making them an infused part of more people’s lifestyle.
