Best Answer

There is no easy answer to this question, for most towns, even quite small ones, have libraries. They are regarded as a common cultural need. And some local authorities have a number of them. Queenstown Lakes District Council, where I live, has at least 7 of them.

Not sure this is good enough. A cursory look at the public libraries website suggests an average of 50 per region over 8 regions suggesting a figure of around 400. A closer answer must be quite easily obtainable even though sometimes definitions are not exact. Quite a high number for the population but then it is mostly rural and many of the libraries I presume are very small.

Are all libraries non-profit?

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. Many libraries charge other libraries for the use of their resources - particularly if they have rare or subject specific items. This charge varies from library to library, however it is often very expensive for public libraries and they typically lose money in providing this service.
