As you can see in the table, El Paso has nearly 35 000 more volumes than Baton rouge has, then El Paso has more books than El Paso, another way to say this is that Baton Rouge has less books than El Paso, we can express this comparison with a "<", putting the number of books of the Baton rouge on the left and the number of books of El Paso on the right, like this:

1,232,185 < 1,277,003

Then, the answer is:

El Paso, 1,232,185 < 1,277,003
