Old part of the state library
In 2006, 39 public libraries existed in Hamburg, organised by the foundation Bücherhallen Hamburg,[1] more than 20 academic libraries, and several special or museums libraries.[2] 7.9 media per inhabitant were borrowed from the public libraries. Therefore, Hamburg, after Bremen (9.0), were ranking at the top of the German states.[3]
There are also four main archives.[4]
