I think this is a better approach - doing the work in Wikidata.
In Wikidata I don't think we've done a great (or consistent) job of
modeling organizational data well for things like libraries. For example
many public libraries are branches that are part of a system. Both should
be represented as parent / child.
Fwiw there are over 16,000 public libraries in the United States.

Currently still very much work in progress (hence the messy page), I've
done approx. 550 out of 1600 libraries:

The plan is to also include all the tables in Dutch & English Wikipedia,
so to significantly expand
https://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lijst_van_bibliotheken#Nederland with Dutch
public libraries
I know that User:Sic19 has done similar work for the public libraries in
Wales:
