Technology and a ‘Renaissance of the Culture of the Book’
From the 1984 Books in our Future report., by the Joint Committee on the Library of Congress of the United States:
"We must not forget that for us reading books is "the activity which enriches all others." there is no business, work, sport, skill, entertainment, art, or science that cannot be improved by reading and whose rewards cannot be increased by books. The reading of books, as we have seen, is not a passive, marginal social fact but a major national activity. We must use all our technologies to make the most of our inheritance, to move toward an Amerrican Renaissance of the Culture of the Book."
