Bibliothekarisch – die berufliche Tätigkeit eine:r Bibliothekar:in betreffend.
“What is the next thing that you should read? It’s not simply the thing that will have the lowest barrier to embracing it. One of the great virtues of libraries is that they have the reader’s interests at heart. That doesn’t necessarily mean that all humans trump all algorithms.” David Weinberger
“Reading makes us better seers, imagination enables us to reinvent ourselves. The ambrosia of imagination is offered in books, in art.” Lila Azam Zanganeh
Any book that helps a child to form a habit of reading, to make reading one of his deep and continuing needs, is good for him.
Maya Angelou (aus “From New Eyes for Old: Nonfiction Writings by Richard McKenna”)
“Do not read, as children do, to amuse yourself, or like the ambitious, for the purpose of instruction. No, read in order to live.” Gustave Flaubert
Reading is an act of resistance in a landscape of distraction…. We regain the world by withdrawing from it just a little by stepping back from the noise. David L. Ulin
I think we ought to read only the kind of books that wound and stab us. If the book we’re reading doesn’t wake us up with a blow on the head, what are we reading it for? So that it will make us happy, as you write? Good Lord, we would be happy precisely if we had no books, and the kind of books that make us happy are the kind we could write ourselves if we had to. But we need the books that affect us like a disaster, that grieve us deeply, like the death of someone we loved more than ourselves, like being banished into forests far from everyone, like a suicide. A book must be the axe for the frozen sea inside us. That is my belief. Franz Kafka
Die Orange Public Library schuf in Zusammenarbeit mit der Chapman University eine Parodie auf die unschlagbare Single “Uptown Funk” von Bruno Mars. Der Titel hierzu lautet “Unread Book” und wird von Pogona Creative interpretiert. Was haltet ihr davon?

“Wie wenig du gelesen hast. Wie wenig du kennst. – Aber vom Zufall des Gelesenen hängt es ab, was du bist.” Elias Canetti
Nicht nur die Vorlesestudie 2014 in Deutschland machte deutlich, dass Vorlesen Gespräche anregt und familiäre Bindungen fördert. In den USA wurde im letzten Jahr der Kids & Family Reading Report veröffentlicht, der ähnliche Ergebnisse hinsichtlich der Bedeutung des Vorlesens enthält wie die von der Stiftung Lesen herausgegebene Vorlesestudie.

Reading is the work of the alert mind, is demanding, and under ideal conditions produces finally a sort of ecstasy. As in the sexual experience, there are never more than two persons present in the act of reading — the writer, who is the impregnator, and the reader, who is the respondent. This gives the experience of reading a sublimity and power unequalled by any other form of communication. E.B. White
