American Libraries

Did you know?

Library cards are about as prevalent as credit cards. Two-thirds of Americans have a library card. For many young people, the first card in their wallet is a library card.

Most public libraries provide free wireless Internet access for their users. Nearly 12,000 now offer free Wi-Fi. That's more than Starbucks, Barnes & Noble, or Borders.

FedEx shipments worldwide: 8 million
U.S. Public library circulation: 7.9 million

Every day, 300,000 Americans get job-seeking help at their public library.


What can your library do for you today?
