From the statistical news release:

It’s Library and Information Week this week and the release of the latest Australian Bureau of Statistics facts and figures on Australian libraries yesterday proves the truth of the week’s slogan: libraries really are “for everyone”. ABS figures show that over half the Australian population are members of a library and almost two thirds of us who visit libraries did so more than six times each in 2006.

Executive Director of the Australian Library and Information Association, Sue Hutley, says this just proves that Australians love their libraries.
