# Queensland public libraries

The State Library of Queensland publishes two sets of data on the state's public libraries. The directory lists every branch, mobile library and library service point with its address, opening hours, contacts and coordinates.

The annual statistics are reported by each council for each financial year. One table holds a row per council with its spending, collection, loans, members, staff and programs. The other holds a row per branch with its opening hours and floor space.
