Notes
-
The list shows some non-consecutive numbering (e.g., BY-HM0000, BY-HM0001, BY-HM0002, then jumps to BY-HM0016, BY-HM0019), suggesting codes BY-HM0017 and BY-HM0018 may be reserved or assigned to institutions not listed on the English website.
-
The numbering system reserves 0000 for regional libraries (e.g., BY-BR0000, BY-VI0000), establishing a hierarchical structure.
-
Institution types are predominantly public and district libraries, reflecting Belarus's centralized library system structure.
-
Some institutions have lengthy official names indicating their administrative subordination (e.g., "Department of ideological work, culture and youth affairs").
-
This dataset represents the English version of the registry. The Russian and Belarusian versions may contain additional or updated information.
