Wow, thanks for this, Olaf - great work! Hopefully we will get the
bibliographic data for those libraries into Wikidata one day too (or into
some other bibliographic database). Getting more people into libraries
starts with awareness of local institutions of course.

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:
