Drawing on scholarly research findings, this book presents a cogent
case that librarians can use to work towards prioritization of
reading in libraries and in schools. Reading is more important than
it has ever been-recent research on reading, such as PEW reports
and Scholastic's "Kids and Family Reading Report," proves that
fact. This new edition of Reading Matters provides powerful
evidence that can be used to justify the establishment,
maintenance, and growth of pleasure reading collections, both
fiction and nonfiction, and of readers' advisory services. The
authors assert that reading should be woven into the majority of
library activities: reference, collection building, provision of
leisure materials, readers' advisory services, storytelling and
story time programs, adult literacy programs, and more. This
edition also addresses emergent areas of interest, such as
e-reading, e-writing, and e-publishing; multiple literacies; visual
texts; the ascendancy of young adult fiction; and fan fiction. A
new chapter addresses special communities of YA readers. The book
will help library administrators and personnel convey the
importance of reading to grant-funding agencies, stakeholders, and
the public at large. LIS faculty who wish to establish and maintain
courses in readers' advisory will find it of particular interest.
Provides proof of the library's vital role in readers' lives,
information that may be used to justify services and collections
Compiles current research on reading from diverse sources and
presents it intuitively, saving librarians time and energy when
searching for research findings Offers a clear rationale for making
pleasure reading a priority in libraries and in schools
