More Americans Went to the Library Than the Movie Theater in 2019 Among adults in Gallup's <br />December 2019 poll, there was <br />a reported average of 10.5 trips to a library last year. Heading to the movie theater <br />was second on the list at <br />5.3 average trips. Rounding out the top 5 was sporting events <br />at 4.7 and live music trips with 3.8. Taking in a national/historical park was fifth on the list at 3.7 trips. For library visits among genders, the poll adds <br />women went to them nearly twice as much. Men are more likely to <br />choose a sports event, a <br />national park or casino. Gallup also shows that library visits were recorded <br />more for those in low-income households. This is most likely because going <br />to the library is free and provides access to a <br />computer and the internet.
