I moved to Finland, and starting when my child was about three years old I took him to Oodi every weekend.
The soft-play area was heaven for him, and he liked flicking through the donald-duck comic books.
Even now, when he's nine, I go every month or two with him for an afternoon. He has no shortage of books at home, but he gets to run around, look at books, and play with other kids. He enjoys himself enormously.
I'm probably in the middle of the stat myself and know people from both sides. My first thought was also that a lot of parents and children visit libraries almost daily and pupils and students visit libraries on school breaks and after school alone or with friends.
On one hand, you have a lot of busy and tired adults and a lot of old people that might not use libraries (often), but you also have the massively active younger demographics. I don't know how that would balance out and how the stats were counted. Maybe they fit somehow.
