Nationwide descriptive statistics on public libraries are collected and disseminated annually through a voluntary census, the Public Libraries Survey. The survey is conducted by the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES) through the Federal-State Cooperative System for public library data (FSCS). Statistics are collected from over 9,000 public libraries. Data are available for individual public libraries and are also aggregated to state and national levels.For additional information about the public libraries survey, please go to the Public Libraries home page.
