Education & Literacy
Public libraries are inclusive hubs for formal and non-formal education. Given their pivotal role in society, they facilitate literacy across all age and social groups and provide equitable access to educational resources. By focusing on education and literacy, public libraries empower individuals with lifelong learning opportunities and help bridge socio-economic and digital divides.
