Libraries 2016
Trends in
visiting public libraries have steadied, and many Americans have high
expectations for what their local libraries should offer
Most
Americans view public libraries as important parts of their communities, with a
majority reporting that libraries have the resources they need and play at
least some role in helping them decide what information they can trust. When
asked to think about the things that libraries could do in the future, notable
numbers of Americans respond in a way that can be boiled down to one phrase:
“Yes, please.”
Public
libraries, many Americans say, should offer programs to teach people digital
skills (80% think libraries should definitely do this) and help patrons learn
how to use new creative technologies like 3-D printers (50%). At the same time,
57% of Americans say libraries should definitely offer more comfortable places
for reading, working and relaxing.
