World Map of Library Books Borrowed
This map shows books borrowed from public libraries. The most books borrowed were in the Russian Federation. There were high rates of borrowing in Western Europe, Japan and Eastern Europe. In these regions most territories reported some book borrowing.
In other regions reported book borrowing was lower, and many territories reported very little borrowing. Where many people cannot afford books, it appears they often cannot borrow them either.
The Proportional Map is found here. Territory size shows the proportion of all library books borrowed that were borrowed there.
The original site is WorldMapper.
