ABSTRACT
Writing a book
on a single subject demands a lot of courage and effort. Writing a book that
deals with four subjects of contemporary significance demands mega courage and
effort. This is my first impression about this unique book. Books, Libraries
and Reading in the Digital Age is eclectic in content and promises to meet the
needs of a variety of readers. In this book, the author has utilized the
experience he acquired working for over three decades in both academic and
public libraries. It is not easy to decipher the motivations of any author but
this author's concern for the cultivation and sustenance of the reading culture
in our society stands out prominently. In a digital age where computers and the
internet are keeping many people away from books, the author maintains that the
printed book and the library are still relevant. Those who forecast doomsday
for the printed book and, by extension, the library may find this work disappointing.
