The top 10 states mapped
Note: Maine's Portland Public Library is the state's only outlet in this population category. Ditto for New Hampshire's Manchester City Library. In addition, a significant majority of public libraries in Midwestern states are organized at the municipal level.
The bottom 10 states mapped
In their defense, Southern and Southeastern states -- Louisiana, Georgia, South Carolina, North Carolina, Virginia -- are more likely to large larger units of public library governance, i.e., few central facilities and more branches. At a glance, though, I think these states would rank toward the bottom of a list of library square footage per capita.
