The Oracle conducted a survey of Archer girls and their reading habits. A sample of Archer students revealed that 60 percent prefer books to movies.

It is not surprising, then, that 86 percent stated they enjoy reading. Another question asked students to choose their favorite of three book mediums: print, E-Books, or audio books. 81 percent of the sampled students favored traditional print books. Fourteen percent favored E-Books, and a measly 5 percent chose audio books over other available mediums. These findings are remarkable, considering the age group of Archer students.
