story on young users and libraries

Just came across this story on 'Generation Y' visitors to libraries. Here's an excerpt:

Of the 53 percent of U.S. adults who said they visited a library in 2007, the biggest users were young adults aged 18 to 30 in the tech-loving group known as Generation Y, the survey by the Pew Internet & American Life Project said....

More than two-thirds of library visitors in all age groups said they used computers while at the library.
Supporting student and public access to in-house computers was a major focus of the WSU Libs efforts in the past year, with over 80% of the workstations at the six Pullman libraries being replaced or upgraded.
