This project collects and maps data from public libraries across the Australia and the external Territories of Christmas Island and the Cocos (Keeling) Islands.
You should be able to find the location of every public library in Australia territory, plus the standard loan period for each libary service, and whether they charge overdue fines (if known, in both cases).
See [contributing](https://librarymap.hugh.run/contributing/), especially *[which files to update](https://librarymap.hugh.run/contributing/#which-files-to-update)*.
The website for this project uses [git-webhooks](https://git.suboptimal.solutions/hugh/git-webhooks) with a customisation to run the `process.js` file that is found in this repository on each pull. The file is stored with the webhooks files so that everything can be `npm install`ed together.
This `process.js` file syncs any changes from the csv files into the topojson attributes (e.g. when a library changes their ILS).
This could be a bit of faffing around, depending what you are trying to do. Merging existing entities together is reasonably easy, but if you need to pull a council area out of a regional library, for example, you might need to mess around with LGA maps.
**Always work with copies of the original files**.
1.`boundaries.geo.json` should be aligned with `boundaries.topo.json`. If in doubt, use `topojson-client`'s `topo2geo` to get a geojson file with the most up to date data from the topojson:
To contribute to the map data you can contact Hugh at librarymap [at] hugh.run. If necessary, I will add an account for you on `git.suboptimal.solutions` if you want to contribute to the code.
