This past month, the Pew Research Center released a thirty-page report outlining major trends in how Americans use public libraries and what they would like these libraries to offer. The report, entitled Libraries 2016, is based on information collected from a telephone survey of 1,601 Americans ages 16 and older. The survey found that 53 percent of those surveyed had used a public library in some form over the past year. In addition, the survey indicated that a majority (77 percent) of those surveyed were satisfied with the services they received at public libraries. While most individuals surveyed agreed that they would like their local libraries to provide education about how to use digital technology, they were divided about what they wanted libraries to do with books. When asked if books should be moved to provide more community space, 24 percent supported the idea while 31 percent did not. Interested readers can download a full PDF of this report.
