Very interesting. I love public libraries.
“Surprisingly, the benefits were seen even for people who didn’t read. While the connection was stronger among regular readers, even nonreaders were healthier in cities with more library books.”
A recent study in Japan found that cities with more public library books have fewer people needing long-term nursing care
