23 Libraries 23

24 Cost of libraries is assessed through the following categories: - Library materials expenditure - Staffing expenditure - Capital (asset) maintenance expenditures - Other expenditures 24

25 Value of libraries - The services and programs made available to users by public libraries - The social interaction facilitated in public libraries - The sense of place and enhanced local amenity afforded by libraries - Environmental savings generated through continued re-use of library collections - Public library contributions to language and computer literacy, and - Public library facilitation of improved education, career development and health outcomes. 25

26 Cost and benefits of libraries Based on the information provided across all jurisdictions, the total annual cost of public libraries across Australia is $1.03 billion. 26

27 Approximately $3.18 billion of economic stimulus is provided to the Australian economy by public libraries each year, through triggered library user expenditures and the recurrent operating expenditures of public libraries. After accounting for flow on linkages and transactions, it is estimated that approximately 30,950 jobs are supported by public library services, as is some $3.83 billion in value added annually. 27
