Public libraries (Fig. 10) are relatively uniformly distributed across the Spanish provinces, with a
higher presence (Fig. 11) in more sparsely populated regions, but there are notable differences that
could correspond to variations in budgets allocated to culture and education by different
autonomous communities. Densely populated Madrid, Barcelona, Sevilla, Cadiz and Murcia are the
provinces in which each library serves more residents (Fig. 12).
