Special libraries are funded by their organizations or corporations.

Public libraries are funded largely or entirely by their cities and/or counties and often receive some donations from members of the public. Academic libraries are funded by their universities, which receive funding from tuition, donors, and state government. Some private libraries charge for membership. The Boston Athenæum and the London Library are examples of these.

Are libraries the sole responsibility of federal government?

No, libraries are not solely the responsibility of the federal government. In the United States, libraries are primarily funded and managed at the state and local levels, with significant support from municipal governments and community organizations. Federal funding, such as through the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS), provides additional resources but does not constitute the primary oversight or management of libraries. This decentralized approach allows libraries to better meet the specific needs of their communities.

No. There are a lot of for-profit libraries. Most for-profit libraries are corporate libraries, while non-profit libraries tend to be public libraries.
