The value of a visit to the library

4000 library users in the UK were surveyed as part of the research conducted by Archives, Libraries and Museums Alliance UK (ALMA-UK).  The findings show that library users placed a theoretical value of £24-£27 on each library visit.

The research also shows how public libraries can boost local economies.  ALMA-UK has produced a toolkit to help libraries demonstrate their value.
