Reading habits in Madrid
We have presented the results of the survey analysis and diagnosis of reading habits in the population of the Comunidad de Madrid. This is a survey conducted by telephone in population over 14 years resident in Madrid between October and November 2007. The 55.7% of respondents are considered frequent readers, a percentage much higher than the national average, which was at 39.6%. The average number of weekly hours devoted to reading stands at 8.20, while those devoted to television were 10.29 and 7.37 hours Internet. The percentage of respondents who are not library users has grown since the survey in 2004. In that year 82.9% said they were not library users, a percentage that has grown up to 83.8% in 2007. The 16.2% of users employ essentially the library loan service (45.3%), followed by the reading room (18.5%) and the study room (13.8%). The survey also examines the reading on the Internet. The 55.9% of respondents used the Internet as an information resource, the professional information being sought in a 33.3% and 30.2% a leisure.
