Findings could be relevant to U.S. libraries as well.
The Museums, Libraries and Archives Council (the British equivalent of the IMLS) has issued "A Research Study of 14-35 year olds for the Future Development of Public Libraries." Market segments they identified included:
Borrowers
Students
Family Activity Seekers
Functional Dabblers
Teenage Space Seekers
Disconnected
See the graphic on page 45 of the report for a concise summary of the estimated potential of each of these segments for increased public library use. You can download the full report (PDF) from this page:
