The number of young people in the UK using libraries has increased over the last five years, according to new research.

一項最新研究發(fā)現(xiàn)，在過去5年內(nèi)，英國使用圖書館的年輕人的數(shù)量有所上升。

A comprehensive study by the Carnegie UK Trust looked at the habits of 10,000 people across the country. People aged 15-24 in England were the most likely age group to use libraries.

卡內(nèi)基英國信托對全國范圍內(nèi)10000名受訪者的習(xí)慣進行了一項綜合性研究。結(jié)果發(fā)現(xiàn)，年齡在15到24歲的人群使用圖書館最多。

But the data didn't show what they were using them for - so it could be for the computers and free internet.

不過，數(shù)據(jù)并未顯示他們在圖書館做什么--所以有可能是使用電腦或者自由上網(wǎng)。

Nearly half (46%) of people aged 25 to 34 still visit them according to the study - a rise of 2%.

從研究結(jié)果可以看出，在25歲到34歲的人群中，有近半數(shù)（46%）的人仍去圖書館--這一數(shù)字相比之前上升了2%。

However, overall library use in England declined by 4% over five years with the public using libraries less frequently. There was also a drop in the number of older people using libraries.

然而，過去5年內(nèi)，由于公眾使用圖書館的頻率降低，英國人總體使用圖書館的比例下降了4%。而老年人使用圖書館的數(shù)量也有所減少。

The study involved 5,000 interviews which took place in 2011, and a further 5,000 interviews last year. Researchers then compared the two sets of data, which was broken down by region.

這項研究在2011年調(diào)查了5000人，去年再次調(diào)查了5000人。研究人員將這兩套數(shù)據(jù)分區(qū)域進行了比對。

The highest levels of library use were in Scotland and Ireland, with the lowest in Northern Ireland.

圖書館使用頻率最高的是蘇格蘭和愛爾蘭，使用最少的是北愛爾蘭。
