Workforce development. Digital inclusion. Economic mobility. Building a strong local economy. Engaging community. Literacy across a lifetime. These are all areas in which public libraries play a crucial role, and we need our legislators to understand the ways in which our teams contribute to regional infrastructure. #publiclibraries #infrastructure #communityengagement #economicempowerment

They provide critical resources across employment, health, information access, civic engagement and social services for jobseekers, small businesses, immigrants, seniors, families with children, students and those bridging the digital divide. To preserve, improve and expand the essential role of libraries in communities nationwide, ULC has released a set of policy recommendations for Congress to consider.
