What is on this map?

The 17,615 public-library service records in the FY2024 IMLS survey.

Coordinates are reported by the source and may represent an approximate address or locality. A marker does not verify an entrance, current operating status, hours, or access. Bookmobile and mail-service markers may be administrative bases, not stops or walk-in libraries.

The map currently covers the public-library survey. The North Carolina directory also lists 119 NC LIVE member institutions and 210 diocesan communities; those categories are not plotted here. Academic branches, school, special, independent, and digital libraries still need separate source inventories.
