Gen Y Hits the Library the Most -- But Not For Books

Posted by timothy on Tuesday January 1, 2008 @12:03AM from the don't-tell-the-other-perverts dept.

Lucas123 writes "More than half of all Americans visited a library this past year and, of those, most were from Generation Y, the tech-loving young adults aged 18-30 years, according to a recent survey. The reason most cited for visiting their local public archive? Not books. Most were seeking gaming software programs, characters in the Second Life virtual world and online help with homework."
Another way to think about the results: about 47 percent of Americans didn't visit a library even once last year.

Off topic here, but I wanted to ask about one of your books.

Is World at the End of Time about that city called Middletown that had a superbomb exploded over it and transported one million years into the future with the cooling Sun, giant Moon, and hot spaceblonds?
