Respondents to the library-funded survey — conducted by the Public Opinion Laboratory at Northern Illinois University at a cost of $12,000 — were asked to rank the importance of 13 types of materials and 13 programs and services. Their choices were “very important,” “somewhat important,” “not too important” and “not important at all.”
With one exception, all materials and programs were ranked either “very” or “somewhat” important by a majority of the respondents. Video games for children and young adults were rated “unimportant” by more than half of the respondents, all of whom were over age 18.
