Description: This dataset contains points which represent locations of all public libraries and their branches currently registered with the Massachusetts Board of Library Commissioners(MBLC). MassGIS created the layer from a list received in July 2017 from the MBLC of libraries that are members of the Massachusetts Library System (MLS). The list was cross-referenced to points in our master address databaseto create this geospatial layer.This layer also includes a small subset of "special" libraries as categorized by the MBLC whose main function is to operate as a library. Many schools, hospitals, trial courts, law offices, historical societies, museums, private companies and other public and private institutions house libraries in addition to their primary operations. They are not included in this data layer. MassGIS has separate layers for some of these types of facilities. Search the MBLC Library Directoryfor more.In ArcSDE the layer is named LIBRARIES_PT.MassGIS extracted from its master address database all points that were identified as libraries in building names. Using ArcGIS these were compared to the previous (2005) version of the Libraries point layer as well as to the latest database list from the MBLC. MassGIS checked library websites where there were discrepancies in names and addresses among the different sources. With the 2017 update, MassGIS dropped most special and all academic libraries that were included in the previous version because their MLS membership status changes frequently or may not be updated in the MLS in a timely manner by the library director or designee.
