Help update the Big (Awful) Picture

We are trying very hard to keep accurate records of disappearing library services. Please help us by sending your information below. Please note that we may contact you for verification. Thank you for helping us to track the libraries we're losing! Please note that we are unable to map data for libraries outside of the U.S. or libraries that are not public libraries at this time.

You can also reach us at contact@losinglibraries.org.

Folks--Please, seriously, find at least ONE URL to help us verify reports. It can be from the library's website, a local newspaper or media source, even a blog. But otherwise, we have to post your report as being unverified, which does not really help the library's cause. Thank you!
