Each year since 1988, the survey has provided a national census of America’s public libraries. The data are collected from approximately 9,000 public library systems comprised of over 17,000 individual main libraries, library branches, and bookmobiles in the 50 states, the District of Columbia, and U.S. territories.

"Ensuring that public libraries and the organizations that work with them have access to comprehensive, in-depth data that can be compared over the years is a key part of how IMLS supports the capacity of the field to meet the needs of their communities," said Benjamin Sweezy, IMLS Deputy Director of Digital and Information Strategy.
