About this metric
This metric counts the libraries in Armenia, in total and split into urban and rural libraries.
In 2025 there were 526 libraries: 139 in cities and 387 in villages. Rural libraries are nearly three quarters of the total (73.6%).
The number fell every year from 960 in 2010 to 514 in 2024, the lowest value in the period shown, and rose to 526 in 2025. The largest one-year fall was in 2024, from 602 to 514. Rural libraries went from 779 in 2010 to 387 in 2025, and urban libraries from 181 to 139. The source does not give reasons for these changes.
