I wonder why Minneapolis dropped from America’s most literate city last year to number two this year (damn you, Seattle). Factors in the study, conducted by the Center for Public Policy and Social Research at Central Connecticut State University include newspaper circulation, number of bookstores, library resources, periodical publishing resources, educational attainment, and access to online media. The study, it’s worth noting, doesn’t measure whether citizens can read, rather if they do.

I guess it could have something to do with Seattle’s new library. It is huge and always full of people, and those people are reading.
