Data on public libraries by council

Immanuel Feld made this Freedom of Information request to North Yorkshire Council as part of a batch sent to 315 authorities Automatic anti-spam measures are in place for this older request. Please let us know if a further response is expected or if you are having trouble responding.

We're waiting for Immanuel Feld to read recent responses and update the status.

Dear Madam/Sir,

My name is Immanuel Feld and I am a researcher at the University of Warwick. My research focusses on local governments and the provision of public goods. I am thus interested in collecting information on the public libraries run by local councils.

Specifically, under the FOI legislation, I request a list of all public libraries run by your council between 2005 and 2022. Additionally, could you please provide information on dates of opening and closure (with at least year-month precision) if they started or ceased operation over that period. Lastly, could you please provide information on opening and closing hours of the library in that given year?

That means the final dataset would have the following columns:
Name of the library, address, date of opening, date of closing, opening hours in year 2005, opening hours in year 2006, … , opening hours in year 2022.
If collecting daily opening hours is not possible, annual opening hours are sufficient, too.

I am happy with whatever format of the data is the most suitable to you and I don’t have any issue in combining multiple files.

Yours faithfully,

Immanuel Feld

Dear Joe Hannan,

Thank you for your reply! Unfortunately, the DCMS dataset contains opening hours only for 2016 and the Arts Council dataset only for 2022. Thus the information on opening hours is missing for every year from 2007 - 2015 and 2017 - 2022.

I am most interested in this information. However, I understand that this exceeds the limit of 18 hours. Thus I would like to amend my request and ask for the years 2007 - 2010.

Yours sincerely,

Immanuel Feld
