88% of Americans aged 16-29 (aka Millennials) have read a book in the past year. This is higher than the 79% of those aged 30+ who have reada book in the past year. Of the Millennials 37% read at least one e-book.
Interestingly, 50% of Millennials visited a library in the past year (vs 47% of older users) and 36% of them used a library website (vs 28% of older people).
Perhaps most fascinating of all, although virtually all Millennials use the internet (98%), more of them agree to the statement " there is a lot of useful, important information that is not available on the internet" (62%) than older Americans (53%).
All the above is according to a new Pew Research Center study of "Young Americans and Public Libraries."
