You might not notice it in your peer group, when you are not their age, but my daughter showed me that many 20-30yr olds are switching to dumb phones, are cancelling their Facebook/tiktok/twitter accounts and are discovering libraries and printed books. As a conscious decision. Not all of them, but quite a lot and it's growing.

@jwildeboer @pattykimura It is good to here about young people reducing social media time. I would like to point out that reading a print book from a library is harder for me as a blind person than reading a digital book from an app like Apple Books or an audio book.

A number of my visually impaired clients use audio books free from our small local library (my Dad was blind). Audio books are also helpful to those with certain cognitive issues. We are rural and isolated, but our local library is part of the state's interlibrary loan system, so they can get a huge variety of materials.
