Neat map. I notice there are lots of duplicates in the Fusion Tables dataset; removing them likely wouldn't make a difference on the map, but it's easy to do in pandas.

libraries.drop_duplicates(("Latitude","Longitude"),inplace=True)

Great map! An interesting question is how well this map follows the
population map. It would be good to run kernel density estimator on
both datasets and show their ratio. Is it really true that the number
of libraries per capita is much higher in Austin, TX than in Seattle, WA?
