The Urban Libraries Council’s (ULC) 2024 Library Insights Report, which captures trends in patron engagement with library programs and services, found strong increases in library usage last year. The survey found that libraries recorded an average 24% increase in visits in 2023 compared to the year before, a trend expected to have continued in 2024. Room reservations among libraries surveyed increased by 52% and surpassed pre-pandemic levels, and program attendance increased by 53%. The report reflects survey responses from 115 ULC member libraries, representing almost 2,300 locations serving more than 87.5 million people in the US and Canada.
