· 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
