The analysis in this report is based on a Pew Research Center survey conducted March 7-April 4, 2016, among a national sample of 1,601 adults, 16 years of age or older, living in all 50 United States and the District of Columbia. Fully 401 respondents were interviewed on landline telephones, and 1,200 were interviewed on cellphones, including 667 who had no landline telephone. The survey finds that Americans continue to express largely positive views about the current state of their local public libraries. For instance, around three-quarters (77%) say that public libraries provide them with the resources they need, and 66% say the closing of their local public library would have a major impact on their community although notably, just 33% say this would have a major impact on them personally or on their family. There is also a growing sense that libraries can help people decide what information they can trust: 37% of Americans feel that public libraries contribute "a lot" in this regard, a 13-point increase from a survey conducted at a similar point in 2015. As in past Pew Research Center surveys of library use, the April 2016 survey also measured Americans' usage of and engagement with libraries. This report provides information on the following findings from the 2016 survey: (1) American's attitudes toward public libraries; (2) library usage and engagement; and (3) a portrait of those who have never been to libraries.
