A Survey of Public Library Users

Abstract

This survey of public library users in Tokyo was practised under the sponsorship of the Japanese Society for the Science of Reading in July, 1958.
The purpose of this survey was to clear up the actual condition of reading interest, library use, and attitude towards mass communication media of public library users in Tokyo.
According to the results of this survey, the most of public library users are regular people and the users at uptown are very different from users at downtown in reading interest, library use, and so on.
