"There are more public libraries than Starbucks in the U.S. – a total of 16,568, including branches. Nearly 100% of public libraries provide Wi-Fi and have no-fee access to computers."

"Students make almost 1.3 billion visits to school library media centers during the school year, the same as attendance at movie theaters in 2014, or four times as many visitors to national parks."

"Cutbacks in school librarians may be yielding unintended consequences. According to a recent study by Stanford University, more than 80% of middle schoolers cannot tell the difference between sponsored content and a real news article."

There are 16,568 total libraries including branches in the U.S. per 2016 PLS survey (Public Libraries Survey, FY 2016, Table 3 of the Supplemental Tables https://www.imls.gov/sites/default/files/fy2016_pls_tables.pdf) [2018 Starbucks: 14,606 corporate and licensed locations within the USA.
