Book borrowing is the main reason for public library visits by young people, according to a new survey commissioned by the Scottish Government.
Scotland’s Schools Omnibus found that 67% of young people visited their local library to borrow, return or renew books. This is significantly higher than the numbers using computers and the Internet (37%) or borrowing multimedia materials (10%). Sixteen percent of the 11-15 year-olds surveyed also selected browsing or reading as the motivation for their library visits.
