The research folk at the Home Office have come up with a report on
Meeting parents’ needs for information: evidence from the 2001 Home Office Citizenship Survey.
There's a pdf available here -

They look at informal and formal sources of information for a range of categories of parents. I find no mention of libraries. From the intro - "Formal sources are defined in the HOCS as those provided by organisations such as social services, health services, religious organisations and family charities such as the National Family and Parenting Institute. Informal sources of advice and help are defined as that provided by relatives or friends and neighbours."
