The document discusses the benefits and return on investment of public libraries in Pennsylvania. It notes that PA's 630 library outlets serving 12 million citizens provide $5.50 in benefits for every $1 of tax support. It then focuses specifically on the needs and limitations of the Parkland Community Library, the smallest library relative to population in Lehigh County. It is undersized and lacks adequate space, materials, parking, and accessibility compared to growth in the local population and needs of residents. The only option presented is to build a new, larger library facility.
