[Libs-Or] Pew Internet & Tech Report: Libraries 2016

[Darci Hanning]

Greetings all,

Pew continues to survey the American public regarding their views on public libraries. Here's the latest report, "Libraries 2016".

Some snippets:

"Trends in visiting public libraries have steadied, and many Americans have high expectations for what their local libraries should offer"

"Large majority says that libraries should have programs to teach digital skills; many hope they provide comfortable reading and working spaces"

Executive summary: http://www.pewinternet.org/2016/09/09/libraries-2016/

A portrait of those who have never been to libraries: http://www.pewinternet.org/2016/09/09/a-portrait-of-those-who-have-never-been-to-libraries/

Cheers!
Darci
