Philly.com Reports Bogota has become a public library mecca. It claims more librarygoers per capita than New York, Los Angeles and Dallas. And its biggest library, just off Bogota’s main square, draws a whopping 4.5 million people per year.
“We believe it’s the most-visited public library in the world,” said Jorge Orlando Melo, director of the Luis Angel Arango Library. Library use has since soared from 3.5 million visits in 2000 to more than 12 million today, librarians say.
