Did You Know?
People prefer Cinemas to libraries
From interviews conducted in 2002, only 42.1% of Australians aged 18 years and over visited a library at least once in the previous 12 month period. And it's free. Though, it's the women (49.6%) leading the men (34.5%) on this front.
Paying to see a movie at the cinema, by comparison, was an activity that 69.9% of Australians had done at least once over 12 months. Women and men were equally drawn in - probably not surprising seeing as it's a popular activity for couples.
Only 25.% of Australians bothered to hop into a museum or art gallery over 12 months.
