How do you use your library?
The Pew Research Center Internet & American Life Project is conducting an online survey of library patrons. We ask that you take the survey to help us out. All responses will be confidential. The survey should take about 15 minutes.
To take the survey: http://libraries.pewinternet.org/participate/survey/e-book-borrowers
The Pew Internet Project will also be doing other general surveys of library patrons, as well as non-library-users who own e-readers or tablet computers. If you would like to participate in future surveys, signup here
