Florida libraries have shown excellent improvement in their value to the citizen’s of Florida! Awesome use of research to help prove the stories we tell about the value of libraries!

Florida Public Libraries ROI Increases

This from State Librarian, Judi Ring.

“I am happy to release to you the new data on the 2010 public library return on investment study. The new ROI is $8.32 for every dollar invested in Florida’s public libraries. UWF is working on the final report and analysis of all data collected but we wanted to get the basics out to all of you as quickly as possible.” The $8.32 figure is an increase from $6.54 (2004 ROI Study.)

Florida Libraries and Grants Database

The release of the long-awaited, much-anticipated, Florida library database.

“The Florida Department of State, State Library and Archives of Florida is pleased to announce the release of a new online database, Florida Libraries and Grants (http://www.fllibraries.org/).

Through this site, information for and about Florida libraries is available to the public at any time. Also, selected staff at Florida libraries can edit information about their libraries by logging into the Florida Libraries and Grants system. The online database will also allow users to download a text file or an Excel file of library information.

Both public users and library staff can begin viewing Florida Libraries and Grants at http://www.fllibraries.org/. Please see the attached instructions to help you get started.”

Steal these ideas.
