You may think that in this age of selfies, instant information and
e-books, Millennials would have no use for a library. Why go to a
library when you can access practically any book in the world with the
touch of a button, albeit you have to pay for it. But still, the
convenience of instant literary gratification may be too big of a luxury
for most young people today to pass up.
Well, if you would go so far as to say that Millennials probably
don't even know what a library is today, you'd be wrong. New research
from the Pew Research Internet Project
shows younger Americans' reading and library habits. The report brings
together several years of research into how public libraries fit into
the lives of young people aged 16 to 29 years old, the age group we
sometimes not-so-lovingly refer to as Millennials. This research is
especially interesting now that access to information is increasingly
becoming easier and digital-only.
