The biggest users of the library last year were…eighteen to thirty year olds, Gen Y!
A national study conducted last summer by the Institute of Museum and Library Services, a federal agency that supports the nation’s libraries, showed that 53% of Americans visited the library at least once last year.
Internet users were more than twice as likely to use libraries as non-Internet users.
More than two-thirds in all age groups reported that they used computers while in the library.
Library use by age group:
62% Gen Y Ages 18-30
57% Ages 43-52
46% Ages 53-61
42% Ages 62-71
32% Ages over 72
