# Millennials and Libraries

Lee Rainie, Director of the Pew Research Center's Internet Project, discussed the project’s research about younger Americans and how libraries fit into their lives, at the Texas Library Association's [Annual Conference](http://www.txla.org/annual-conference). He discussed seven key insights from the research about the special world of teens and young adults, and how they differ from older Americans.
