   Great idea. Does anyone know a statistics of
number of libraries /
 librarians by country?

  I compiled some numbers here
 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Emijrp/All_human_knowledge#Libraries

 And started a list of lists that needs to be completed
 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_libraries_by_country

Is anyone interested in contacting national libraries/culture ministries so
they can provide info about all the libraries for each country?

I have been working in Lists of museums/archives/libraries by country long
time, but I only find partial lists and the work is slow. How can we make
these institutions get involved?

...
  All the best,
  Lucian

   If 1 librarian in the USA added one fact or
verified / qualified it
 per work day in their spare 2 mins a day.

  119,729 Libraries in USA
 x
 1 Librarian minimum per Library with internet access...mostly :-)
 x
 251 work days in a year
 =
 30,051,979 MILLION facts that could be added or verified

  Get the word out,
