McDonald’s Users Still Beats Library Visits

Anyway, ALA is out with new stats:

“Ten years after some experts predicted the demise of the nation’s system of libraries as a result of the Internet explosion, the most current national data on library use shows that the exact opposite has happened. Data released today by the American Library Association (ALA) indicates that the number of visits to public libraries in the United States increased 61 percent between 1994 and 2004.”

Anyone up for a Big Mac?
