Russia has the most libraries.
Russia has about 62,000 libraries. Most towns and large villages have a public library. There are also libraries specializing in particular subjects and libraries run by factories, schools, labor unions, and professional and civic organizations. The Russian State Library in Moscow is the largest library in Russia. Other major libraries in Moscow include the All-Russian State Library of Foreign Literature, INION (Institute of Scholarly Information for the Social Sciences of the Academy of Sciences), the State Historical Library, and the Gorki Library at Moscow State University. St. Petersburg is home to the Saltykov-Shchedrin State Library and the Library of the Russian Academy of Sciences.
