This article is a good read for current and future librarians. In an increasing digital world, electronic texts and books are becoming the norm, the author presents ideas about the purpose of reading, and the important role that libraries and librarians play in meeting their users' rapidly changing reading and social needs.
"A good librarian must be able, as a professional, to undergo rapid, chameleon like, changes as one enquirer follows another" (Foskett 1962).
"The best way to serve our users is to try to understand them, to ensure that they are aware of their reading needs: to promote the joy, not the duty, of reading" (Simsova 2008).
