Thank you for your Freedom of Information requesting a list of all public libraries in the UK including name, email, phone number and address.
Unfortunately we are unable to provide you with the information requested and they are considered personal information. Section 39 of the Statistics and Registration Service Act 2007 prohibits the release of information, held by the Statistics Authority, that would identify an individual or an body corporate. As the release of this information is prohibited in law, the exemption under s.44 of the Freedom of Information Act 2000 is engaged.
Through the ONS Data Analysis Service (see website link below), we can provide non-disclosive counts of businesses which can include aggregated variables such as employment/employees and turnover values for the business counts.
