Page • - PLAI1NDEALKR-HERALD, FRIDAY, APRIL 12.1985 s . Book readership is on the rise Sting does it! Bill Cosby, too! Bette Midler and Baryshnikow even do it! They all read! This year celebrities have stepped down from center stage and into America's libraries to lead a nationwide celebration demonstrating that we truly are "a Nation of Readers". Yes, people still read. "The pundits of every age have been quick with premature obituaries," wrote Daniel J. Boorstin, from the Library of Congress. "The obvious example in our time is the common prediction that television and the computer Will displace the book, that action of watchers will cease to be a Nation of Readers f But, in fact, computers and television have probably in­ creased the number of readers. How many computer books were there five years ago? Today, you need a computer to keep track of all the titles. While millions may have been glued to the television for presentations of "Shogun" and "Thornbirds", the next day those same millions went to the libraries and bookstores in search of the books. Mrs. June Stuart, director of the McHenry Public Library, says, "We are a Nation of Readers". Public library usage is on the rise, magazine readership is up. In the last five years the number of readers, heavy readers (26 or more books per six month time period) has doubled. Our library in March circulated better then 10,000 items. "I think that the illiteracy rate and the alarming conclusions of the National Commission on Excellence in Education are cause for concern," Mrs. Stuart continues. But she belifeves that. libraries will lead the un-, dereducated and the illiterate in an exodus from a nation of risk to a Nation of Readers. April 14 to 20,1985, is National Library Week, sponsored by the American Library Association. It's the perfect time to learn, more and enjoy more by reading and using the library. Take the time to reaffirm your citizenship in the Nation of Readers. 24 hours of love Jewel, Charlaine Tiffany of McHenry, center, tells the girls about "24 Hours of Lovin' " in a song from the Woodstock Musical Theatre Company's production of "The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas."
