Americans made more trips to the library than any other cultural activity.
. Americans went to less than five sporting events last year and concert or theater trips clocked in at 3.8 average visits per year.
“Despite the proliferation of digital-based activities over the past two decades — including digital books, podcasts, streaming entertainment services and advanced gaming — libraries have endured as a place Americans visit nearly monthly on average,” the Gallup report claims. “Whether because they offer services like free Wi-Fi, movie rentals, or activities for children, libraries are most utilized by young adults, women and residents of low-income households.
Women went to the library 13.4 times per year, while men only went 7.5 times, and library trips decreased in frequency as household income increased. Interestingly, library trips were consistent across households with and without young children, which Gallup thinks has to do with the fact that young childless people go to the library while they are in college and then they typically return to the library with the same frequency once they have kids.
Last year, Americans visited the library more than they went to the movies, live sporting events, museums, concerts, amusement parks and casinos, among other activities, according to a Gallup poll
