US public libraries

A directory seeded from the Institute of Museum and Library Services' Public Libraries Survey (FY 2024): about 9,200 library systems and 17,600 central libraries, branches and bookmobiles, each with its address, phone, opening hours and a map pin. Systems carry the population they serve, visits, circulation, programmes and public computers.
