This vital book reaffirms librarians’enthusiasm for books and readers in the midst of the evolution of libraries-from reading centers to information centers where librarians are now Web masters, information scientists, and media experts. Readers, Reading, and Librarians explores the future of the book as a medium. With nearly two hundred open-ended interviews with readers who read for pleasure, this book looks at how and why they choose or reject certain books.Readers, Reading, and Librarians examines: - reasons for the current decline in pleasure reading - the need for librarians to sponsor book groups - the current focus on “electronic wonders” - balancing the missions of acting as an advisory service for readers and maintaining your library's technological services - and much more!
