The graph depicts the information regarding the number of books read by both men
and women. The graph contains the information regarding the readers from Burnaby
Public Library during 2011-2104.
As it can be seen from the graph that the number of books read by both men and
women has changed across the years. Initially women took active participation in
reading but however there is a sudden decline in the female book reading
activity ,that is reduction in the number of books read by women as compared to the
previous years . But its not the case with the male readers , it can be noticed from the
graph that the number of books read by men increased drastically as compared to
the initial years.
As it can be studied from the graph , number of books read by women was around
5000 during the year 2011. In the year 2013 , the number of books read by women
was 10,000. However the graph clearly illustrates that the trend does not continue
that is there is fall in the number of books read by female to 7000.
However the data regarding the number of books read by men was totally
contradicting the female data. Men in the initial year that is in 2011 read around 3000
, whereas in the year 2014 the number rapidly increased to 14000.

than the past years until the year 2013, when the men kept going with their pace, but

increase in the year 2013 in the books read by men and the number reached the

year. In that period men read only 4 000 of books while at the same time women’s
line rose from 5 000 to 8 000 of the book by the same year.

In the next year, the number of books read by men sharply gained to 10 000 which
show growth of the interest in reading books. While men showed great leap, women
stability grow and reached the mark 10 000 of readied books too.
