[Corner, Dean]

There is a great study of some libraries in southern Ohio that does a
great job of demonstrating economic value.

            Does anyone have a citation for an economic development
study(s) that states a library is an essential service?  This is the
second time I have read an editorial recently stating this.  While I
hold this to be true, some may believe it to be an "article of faith",
and it would be good to have on file such sources to quote when needed.
