Print books sales remain steady in Q1 2023. The adult and young fiction category drove the major growth in sales while other genres of books kept fluctuating.
so i think there might be this idea, right that is correct we re reading less, but n fact, we re reading the same amount the same percentage of people are reading as they were, say, 44 years ago or 45 years ago, but the way we re enjoying books has certainly changed, right? so in 2021 65% of americans read at least one book via print, 30% said an e book, 23% audio. compare that to a decade ago when it was 72% who read via print. so e books and audios have become much more popular, while print books have, in fact, become less popular. we are not reading the same way that we were. i wonder how many people are still going to libraries, too. there are beautiful libraries in communities that people i don t think they re taking advantage of. what s so interesting to me is it turns out there are actually more public libraries now than there were 30 years ago. so, look, they are not public libraries aren t dying, they are thriving, over 9,000 now, a little less than 9,000 in 1992. ok
