Hello, Some libraries in my area are mapped as buildings (areas) and do not show up in the search. I added the line amenity=library [0x2c03 resolution 21] to polygons in the style. Is this the way do do it or can we tell it some way to look in the points files? Also can we have this by default in the style? Thanks, N.

Have you tried the --add-pois-to-areas switch? It sounds like it should add a library POI which you ought to be able to search for (though I haven't tested this). -- Charlie

Yes it does but only if the library type is present in the relation file (which is not the case in the default style)

Have you considered adding POIs for them at or near the building entrance? Some could say that my tagging style is excessive: http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:amenity%3Dembassy In that example, the name:* tags could be renamed to official_name:* and a shorter set of name:* tags could be introduced, e.g., name=Russian Embassy. Some boundary relations for countries define both name:* and official_name:*. Marko
