-### Important file that is not in this repository
-
-The "core" geojson file with boundaries for each library service is not in the repository. The only other data it holds is the name of each area. When boundaries need to be changed for some reason (a regional library service de-merges, for example), this file needs to be updated using GQIS, and then processed into TopoJSON using `geo2topo`.
-
-This file isn't included in the GitHub repo for the simple reason that Git has a 100MB limit, and the file is larger than that. I could use Git-LFS but GitHub charges for moving large files around, and updating this file will rarely be necessary. If you want to access the geojson file you can find it at [librarymap.hugh.run/data/boundaries.geojson](https://librarymap.hugh.run/data/boundaries.geojson) \[105MB]. Contributors to this file are noted in [sources](sources.md).

         <h3 id="why-this-data">Why this data?</h3>
         <p>When I worked as a systems librarian in public libraries I often wondered how the social networks of decision makers - most obviously reflected by geography and state borders - affected decision making on things like library sofware procurement. I thought mapping systems visually might reveal things that are less obvious on a simple table or list.</p>
         <p>Rules about <strong>loan periods</strong> are arbitrary. I thought it might be interesting to see whether there are any regional trends. I’m surprised by some of the results — do some libraries really have a standard loan period of six weeks? Seems kind of long. Why do so many rural libraries only lend items for two weeks? Is it because country people read faster, or something to do with limited book stock? 🤔</p>
