- ALT 1: ... that 36 libraries in the United States hold more than five million volumes?
ALT 2: ... that the five largest public library systems in the United States are at Boston, New York, Cincinnati, Los Angeles, and Detroit?
ALT 3: ... that although the Los Angeles Public Library and the County of Los Angeles Public Library are completely separate public library systems, both rank among the 30 largest libraries in the United States by volumes held?

This is a cool article! The only problem is is that it is 170 characters too short. If you can do that, then it passes. Kevin Rutherford (talk) 21:17, 8 August 2011 (UTC)
- Expansions complete! Neutralitytalk 04:23, 9 August 2011 (UTC)
- I've expanded the readable prose a bit. Don't know if it's worth adding me as a nom, but it will help this pass. Crisco 1492 (talk) 03:55, 12 August 2011 (UTC)
- It looks good to me, although I don't know what the people below will say as this is a completely new system that I am not familiar with at all. Kevin Rutherford (talk) 14:08, 12 August 2011 (UTC)

- Interest – Fails on this one, IMO. Five million volumes in that many libraries? Sounds ordinary. Tony (talk) 11:42, 10 August 2011 (UTC)
- Did you not see ALT-2 or ALT-3, above? I provided three options for editors specifically so that reviewers could choose one that they liked the best. Neutralitytalk 15:50, 10 August 2011 (UTC)
