A library is a collection of books and other media that is intended for use but not for sale. Because the media can be borrowed at no cost via a library card, it is widely available to library patrons. This Libraries directory includes library web pages for every State in the USA plus Washington, DC and certain populous Counties. Each State and District page lists public libraries and institutional libraries located in that State or District, including their company or website names as well as their locations, phone numbers, and website links.
