Template:Infobox library

req_to_access

Allows to specify the conditions to be met for accessing the collections, such as residence, age, membership of a specific community etc.

annual_circulation

Number of lent or used items followed by the period concerned, preferably the most recent past year, between parentheses.

pop_served

Allows to specify the number of potential users when the library serves a specific group, be it by area of residence, age, membership etc. Can be omitted when the circle of potential users is vaguely defined, e.g. for national libraries which, as generally last resource library for national material, may serve the entire world. It makes reading easier to round numbers to 2-3 significant figures and abbreviate millions by an unspaced 'M'.

members

Number of registered users. It makes reading easier to round numbers to 2-3 significant figures.

Other information

The header 'Other information' will appear only if at least one of the 5 fields below contains data.

budget

Annual budget with specification of the currency, followed by the year concerned (ideally the current one) between parentheses. It makes reading easier to round numbers to 2-3 significant figures, abbreviate millions by an unspaced 'M' and provide the equivalent in US dollars between parentheses.

director

When a name is transliterated, provide the name in its original script between parentheses. Add the year of the appointment between parentheses.

num_employees

Number of employees, ideally followed by the number of full-time equivalents (input: [[Full-time_equivalent|FTE]]). It makes reading easier to round numbers to 2-3 significant figures.

website

If the website has a home page in English, link directly to it. Otherwise, specify the language(s) in which the website is.

references

References used specifically to populate infobox.

Microformat

The HTML markup produced by this template includes an hCard microformat, which makes the place-name and location parsable by computers, either acting automatically to catalogue articles across Wikipedia, or via a browser tool operated by a person, to (for example) add the subject to an address book. Within the hCard is a Geo microformat, which additionally makes the coordinates (latitude & longitude) parsable, so that they can be, say, looked up on a map, or downloaded to a GPS unit. For more information about the use of microformats on Wikipedia, please see the microformat project.

Sub-templates

If the place or venue has "established", "founded", "opened" or similar dates, use {{start date}} for the earliest of those dates unless the date is before 1583 CE.

If it has a URL, use {{URL}}.

Please do not remove instances of these sub-templates.

Classes

hCard uses HTML classes including:

Geo is produced by calling {{coord}}, and uses HTML classes:

Please do not rename or remove these classes nor collapse nested elements which use them.

Precision

When giving coordinates, please use an appropriate level of precision. Do not use {{coord}}'s |name= parameter.
