I think this is a better approach - doing the work in Wikidata. In Wikidata I don't think we've done a great (or consistent) job of modeling organizational data well for things like libraries. For example many public libraries are branches that are part of a system. Both should be represented as parent / child.
Fwiw there are over 16,000 public libraries in the United States.
