[Libs-Or] New Report from Pew Research Center

[Darci Hanning]

Greetings!

Some new data crunching by the Pew Research Center :-)

Millennials are the most likely generation of Americans to use public libraries

Millennials in America are more likely to have visited a public library in the past year than any other adult generation.

A new analysis of Pew Research Center survey data from fall 2016 finds that 53% of Millennials (those ages 18 to 35 at the time) say they used a library or bookmobile in the previous 12 months. That compares with 45% of Gen Xers, 43% of Baby Boomers and 36% of those in the Silent Generation. (It is worth noting that the question wording specifically focused on use of public libraries, not on-campus academic libraries.)
