That’s a great question. Idk. I believe many library systems do share information on some level in the US, but I doubt it is standardized or consistent. But librarians can be amazing so perhaps there is something.
I googled this a bit and found an article about it. Sounds like there isn’t much going on right now in the way of public libraries publishing data, but Seattle Public Library is trying to change it. Actually an interesting thing to think about.
Do libraries publish these statistics or share them with one another?
