The Public Library Association released its 2025 Public Library Services for Strong Communities Survey report on June 23. First conducted in 2022, the survey examines how libraries respond to diverse needs through programs, services, partnerships, and facilities. The 2025 results highlight how libraries have adapted to changing needs while continuing to build on core community services. The survey found that public libraries are increasingly offering food security support services, health and wellness programs, and spaces for cooling or warming centers during extreme temperatures. A free July 23 webinar will discuss the results.
