How far is the nearest library?

Public library buildings from the Institute of Museum and Library Services' Public Libraries Survey for fiscal 2024 (central libraries and branches, bookmobile stops and outreach units excluded), with each system's hours, visits and budget. Distance is straight-line miles from the ZIP's population-weighted center. The distance counts Ohio libraries only, since any Ohio resident can get a free card at any of them while a library across the state line may charge an Ohioan for one; where one over the line is nearer, the card names it.

1,229 of 1,233 ZIPs have data; median 1.6 mi.
