This book discussed about the perception of reading habits among the
user community in public libraries. Public libraries are to educate all
the people irrespective of caste, creed, and age at a very nominal fee.
The public library movement as it was known as a vehicle to pursue an
idea of opportunity not only to read. But use books and libraries to
broaden their horizon and to expand the range and depth of interest as
individual and as communities chance to improve their qualities in their
lives. To have more interest in reading habits, every year more books
are added, own buildings are constructed and other facilities are
provided for the libraries. The reading activity has always been seen as
an important element in a person's culture and education. The reading
habit influences in the promotion of one's personal development in
particular and social progress in general. Regular and systematic
reading sharpens the intellect, refines the emotions, elevates tastes
and provides perspectives for one's living; and thereby prepares a
person for an effective participation in the social, religious, cultural
and political life. This book would be valuable addition to the LIS
literature.
