According to a study conducted by Penn's [[Fels Institute of Government]], in 2017 nearly 25,000 people learned to read or taught someone else to read solely because of the resources of the Free Library. In addition, nearly 1,000 people found jobs based on the career resources of the Free Library, and some 8,600 entrepreneurs were able to start, grow or improve their small businesses because of programs and resources available free of charge at the Library.<ref>{{cite web|title=Fels study shows Free Library's economic impact|url=https://libwww.freelibrary.org/assets/pdf/about/fels-report.pdf|access-date=2016-11-30|archive-date=2017-05-11|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170511032455/https://libwww.freelibrary.org/assets/pdf/about/fels-report.pdf|url-status=dead}}</ref>
