Just look at the data on library users here - age, religion, political party, income, reading frequency - and that's before the specific questions.

Imagine the stories we could tell if we had this about UK public libraries. We need better #LibraryData.

Column | Who uses public libraries the most? There’s a divide by religion, and politics.
After digging ourselves out from under an avalanche of your queries about libraries, we gathered detailed data on the size of their collections, their budgets and the populations they serve.

Excellent discussion this morning about #LibraryData with Arts Council, The Reading Agency and @britishlibrary.bsky.social

We’ve not got the systems to collect sector data yet, but we do now have a clear path to get there and some (England) national data coming out soon.
