[Libs-Or] economic value of downtown libraries

[Mark Greenhalgh-Johnson]

Hi,

I am being asked for a study that shows the dollars spent by library
patrons in the downtown core.
Meaning a patron coming to or leaving a library located downtown will
spend  x dollars  at other nearby businesses.

I have found several studies on the overall monetary  benefit of library
services  to a community. I have not found a study on the particulars of
patron buying habits in the downtown core.

If anyone knows of a study that is this specific - especially in relation
to Urban Renewal - please let me know.

Thanks,

Mark Greenhalgh-Johnson
