A 2023 report found that for every $1 invested in Canada’s urban libraries, $6 is generated in community economic impact (a 600%+ return). These are direct economic benefits to the community in addition to the social value the library provides, especially our downtown branch.

The fact that the library has to make cuts at all is unfortunate. The underfunding of our library system by City Council is shortsighted when study after study shows the (quantifiable) return on investment to be significantly high, let alone the intangible benefits of investing in public libraries.

Oh I am genuinely asking for a heads up about anything we should be concerned about with the draft budget

Hopefully just an anomaly. At the public meeting in June when people raised concerns about the outrageous amount the 'strong mayor' had directed go to the police, they were essentially told nothing could be done about it. Are there other things in this budget you would flag for folks to tune into?
