According to a new Gallup poll, Americans spend more free time at the library than they do at sporting events, live music, museums, or even the cinema. On average, people visited the library 10.5 times a year but only went on five cinema trips and five sporting events. While this seems like great news, it’s also not mega surprising. Age and income played a role, which meant that young people went to the library more than older people (ie, students) and low-income households visited the library more often than high earners.
