It's difficult to determine the exact number of libraries that exist in the world. There are also different types of libraries (e.g. public libraries, academic libraries, special libraries, government libraries, school libraries, etc), so the total number of libraries that exist depends on if one is referring to only one type of library or to all types of libraries.One estimate from the OCLC gives a number of approximately 1 million libraries worldwide.
No. But after Franklin Roosevelt's administration established NARA (National Archives and Records Administration), presidents have had presidential libraries. There's a total of 12 libraries. Any president prior to Hoover's administration has a private company or local/state supporting the library.

The most obvious difference between museums, archives, and libraries is the form of media that each handles. Museums focus on objects; libraries on books; archives on graphic records. All these materials can be considered "information." Information can be defined in a broad or narrow way. In the broader view, information can include objects and graphic records alike. Michael Buckland, in his article "Information as Thing," distinguishes three kinds of information: Information as process (the act of informing); Information as knowledge (facts); and Information as thing: (objects, data, documents). The information professions have not typically considered objects to be "information." On this he notes:

Libraries hold materials that have been published in various formats (books, periodicals, cds and dvds, etc.), while archives hold primary sources--the original documents themselves, which are generally unique. Because archival materials are generally irreplaceable, archives are more restricted that libraries, even libraries that don't allow borrowing. Library users are generally able to browse open stacks and handle and often borrow materials. The rules, techniques and professional development for each are also different for this reason. Issues of preservation are more imperative for archives than for most libraries. Libraries do sometimes hold archival collections that fall under the same rules of handling and access as archival collections.
The very first libraries contained archives of the earliest writing forms, namely clay tablets in cuneiform script that was discovered in Sumer. The archives marked the beginning of history.
