Or we can add more tags into amenity, though I like the subtag better. I think adding a subtag would eventually depreciate the amenity=townhall , community_centre / community_hall, and library - at least as stand-alone facilities (Amenity=library would still have a prominent place in mapping school campuses). we don't need to define the building function though landuse, but just the class of building it falls under, just like industrial, commercial, and retail - those three cover vastly different business and building structures easily under 3 tags. Then we have shop=* for the shops, and other business and amenity tags to cover the other things. Civic=* can cover: Supernational, national, regional, and city admin buildings - From the UN down to Village branch offices of the city hall. Capitals often have huge office buildings devoted to the governmental offices or supporting the legislative bodies, or regional branches, like the massive US "Federal Buildings" https://www.google.com/maps/@34.0557856,-118.448092,467m/data=!3m1!1e3 =super_admin =embassy =national_admin =regional_admin =city_admin =town_admin =village_admin =admin_office (general/unknown) Pension offices, tax offices, auto registration, and other Non-emergency government facilities that you have to visit to speak with a government official for some reason. =pension =taxation =health_office (VA, public heath insurance, etc - a place for paperwork, not medial treatment) =vehicle_reg - DMV, avaition, boating, etc =passport =immigration <-this is huge and missing.

Public facilities that offer service to you somehow =library =community_center = rec_center (a collection of disparate amenities) interested in what you like and dislike. Javbw stand-alone Public libraries, recreation centers and community centers, which are often complexes of some kind.
