Libraries have a long and storied history, dating back thousands of years to the legendary Library of Alexandria. Even in today's digital age, they act as vital public institutions that provide free access to costly information and resources, contributing significantly to community development and literacy. Since library benefits are distributed as externalities across the community, funding for libraries primarily comes from local government sources, such as property taxes. However, budgets are often under pressure due to shifting priorities. Libraries have sought alternative funding sources like grants, donations and partnerships with private entities. Despite diverse funding, libraries struggle with underutilization and competition from substitutes. Over the past five years, industry revenue growth has wavered, dipping at a CAGR of 2.1% to a total of $2.5 billion in 2024, with inflation burning any excess profit down to 3.4% and revenue falling 3.0% in the most recent twelve months. Libraries serve a diverse market, including students, researchers, entrepreneurs and the general public, disproportionately benefitting financially challenged communities. They offer services beyond book lending, like access to digital resources, educational programs and community events. The emergence and surge in popularity of digital technology have also expanded the library's role. It now provides access to e-books, online databases and physical technology like desktops and mobile hotspots. Cultural shifts toward rapid digital information consumption pose challenges and opportunities for libraries. Intellectual property laws affect how libraries can provide access to copyrighted materials. In response to this challenge, libraries have advocated for fair use policies and open access initiatives, particularly after COVID shut down access to physical book lending. Libraries are also adapting by investing in digital infrastructure and enhancing their online presence, often partnering with private companies to build online platforms and taking pages from entertainment competitors like Netflix and Audible. Some libraries are evolving into community hubs or maker (3d printing) spaces. Still, the high cost of these transitions is challenging, and revenue is poised to continue its downward trend, sliding at a CAGR of 2.1% to $2.2 billion through the end of 2029.

This dataset includes point locations for public libraries, public library branches, and public library system offices within the state of Wisconsin. The data that comprises this dataset is submitted by each library through a DPI public library annual report survey. The assigned person at each library submits the information for the central library as well as any branch libraries. It is the libraries responsibility to for keeping their information current in the directory. Any errors in the data should be reported to Melissa Aro (Melissa.Aro@dpi.wi.gov) when they are found.

Questions asked by library patrons and responded to by library staff. This assistance may be requested in person or remotely and from a variety of public desks. Data is provided by a monthly administration report created by the Library and Recreation Services management staff.
