new report today, based on several years of research about the role of libraries in the lives of Americans and their communities, covers a variety of survey findings that illustrate the ways in which the young are somewhat different from their elders. Here
are some of the findings we highlight:<br>
<br>
Millennials’ lives are full of technology, but they are more likely than their elders to say that important information is not available on the internet. Some 98% of those under 30 use the internet, and 90% of those internet users say they using social networking
sites. <br>
<br>
Millennials are quite similar to their elders when it comes to the amount of book reading they do, but young adults are more likely to have read a book in the past 12 months. Overall, 88% of Americans under 30 read a book in the past year, compared with 79%
of those ages 30 and older. Young adults have caught up to those in their thirties and forties in e-reading, with 37% of adults ages 18-29 reporting they have read an e-book in the past year.<br>
<br>
As a group, Millennials are as likely as older adults to have used a library in the past 12 months, and are more likely to have used a library website. Among those ages 16-29, 50% reported having used a library or bookmobile in the course of the past year in
a September 2013 survey.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
