Nearly two-thirds of Americans report possessing a library card, and most continue to visit the library in person at least once a year. These are among the findings of the American Library Association in its first “State of America’s Libraries” report. Released on Monday, the survey, conducted earlier this year, found that patrons’ use of some crucial library services had increased significantly since 2002: 81 percent of library visitors say they take out books (up 14 percentage points from 2002); 54 percent say they consult the librarian (up 7 points); 38 percent say they take out CD’s, videos or computer software (up 13 points); and 22 percent say they go to the library to attend special programs (up 8 points).
