The pie charts illustrate how many people visited the public library and why they came there in two years.
Overall, it is apparent that the arrivals at British public libraries remain the same number in 2 years during the time questioned. In addition, the proportion of visitors coming to borrow or return books accounted for the largest while the opposite was true for studying purpose groups.
The arrivals to these libraries stayed the same at 290 million in 2 years but in 2000, a new group was raised, which was borrowing or returning videos, making up to 18% in 2000. In addition, the share of people going to obtain information also saw a rise from 10% to 20% in 2000, which was doubled compared to that of 1991 level.
In 1991, the rate of people coming to borrow and return books experienced a decrease from 65% in 1991 to 55% in 2000, still holding the largest proportion in 2 years. The same trend was true in the study group with a drop significantly from 10% to 2%, standing at the lowest place in 2000. Visitors coming to read magazines also declined 3 times from 15% to 5% in 2000.
