I am not sure what this proves?
Nothing has changed. A century or two ago, the equivalent demographics did not have libraries either, and were likely to be barely literate. They didn't have much leisure time, but spent a full day in fields, or in the factories. They spent their meager disposable income on beer, not on books.
