研究發現 更多的英國年輕人喜歡去圖書館
The number of young people in the UK using libraries has increased over the last five years, according to new research.
一項最新研究發現，在過去5年內，英國使用圖書館的年輕人的數量有所上升。
A comprehensive study by the Carnegie UK Trust looked at the habits of 10,000 people across the country. People aged 15-24 in England were the most likely age group to use libraries.
卡內基英國信托對全國范圍內10000名受訪者的習慣進行了一項綜合性研究。結果發現，年齡在15到24歲的人群使用圖書館最多。
But the data didn't show what they were using them for - so it could be for the computers and free internet.
不過，數據并未顯示他們在圖書館做什么--所以有可能是使用電腦或者自由上網。
Nearly half (46%) of people aged 25 to 34 still visit them according to the study - a rise of 2%.
從研究結果可以看出，在25歲到34歲的人群中，有近半數（46%）的人仍去圖書館--這一數字相比之前上升了2%。
However, overall library use in England declined by 4% over five years with the public using libraries less frequently. There was also a drop in the number of older people using libraries.
然而，過去5年內，由于公眾使用圖書館的頻率降低，英國人總體使用圖書館的比例下降了4%。而老年人使用圖書館的數量也有所減少。
The study involved 5,000 interviews which took place in 2011, and a further 5,000 interviews last year. Researchers then compared the two sets of data, which was broken down by region.
