The line graph illustrates the number of library loans for three formats between 2010 and 2022, with figures given in thousands.
Overall, the most noticeable trend is that printed-book loans followed a downward trend, whereas e-book and audiobook loans increased. By 2022, e-books had become the most popular format.
At the beginning of the period, printed books were the most popular format, standing at 62,000 loans. After edging up to a peak of 65,000 in 2012, the figure declined steadily to 40,000 in 2022. In contrast, the number of e-book loans rose sharply from 8,000 to 70,000, overtaking printed books in 2018 at approximately 49,000.
Audiobook loans also increased, rising from 3,000 to 46,000. Having risen steadily, the figure exceeded that of printed books by 6,000 in 2022. Despite this increase, audiobook loans remained lower than e-book loans, which stood at 70,000 by the end of the period.
