Just as libraries are rushing to rid themselves of physical books as fast as possible, a new report shows that they might want to slow down. People who read on tablets still like to read some books in paper form. In fact, 

embarrassing as it may seem, three out of four people under the age of the 30 admit to having read a print book in the past year. What can this mean?

Younger Americans—those ages 16-29—exhibit a fascinating mix of habits and preferences when it comes to reading, libraries, and technology. Almost all Americans under age 30 are online, and they are more likely than older patrons to use libraries’ computer and internet connections; however, they are also still closely bound to print, as three-quarters (75%) of younger Americans say they have read at least one book in print in the past year, compared with 64% of adults ages 30 and older.

Lucky for the librarians who are trying to rid their libraries of books (the kind that take up space and need shelves), the report shows that 80% of young Americans still feel that libraries should have librarians!
