 Libraries are welcoming, resourceful and vibrant places, yet some of the people in our communities who could most benefit from library collections, services and spaces don’t know about or use their local library. Why not? This presentation expands on a 2025 article in Public Library Quarterly – “The Other Half: Who Doesn’t Use Public Libraries? Why? And What Can Be Learned from This?"
