Library visits in the United States have been declining sharply, down to 671 million physical visits in 2022 compared to 1.25 billion visits in 2019. The average number of library visits per user per year is down 49.1 percent. It’s going to have knock-on effects for the book industry as a whole: In 2022, there were 162 million fewer books on library shelves than there were in 2010, a 20 percent decline. The reasons for declining library visits are still being discussed, but that declining stock of books is a big factor.
