Public Library Services for Strong Communities Report: Results from the 2022 PLA Annual Survey

Abstract

PLA administered the Public Library Services for Strong Communities survey in fall 2022 to understand how libraries utilize their unique programs, services, partnerships, and facilities in support of community needs. This survey, developed by PLA’s Measurement, Evaluation, and Assessment Committee, responds to a need for actionable data to understand how and in what circumstances libraries engage, through their own efforts and partnerships, to help foster resilient communities. The report summarizes the results of the 2022 survey.
