Group Name: Billings Public Library

What kind of library user are you?

Are you a “Library Lover”? An “Information Omnivore”? Or are you totally “Off the Grid”? Take our library engagement quiz to learn how your library habits and attitudes stack up against the general population. You can also use this quiz to gather information for your own library or community group.

This quiz is a condensed version of the questions asked in our nationally representative survey of 6,224 Americans ages 16 and older in September 2013. You can learn more about the findings from that survey in the full library engagement typology report.

I don't want to take the quiz as part of a group.
