and enhance knowledge possesion among the rural community which is important
in order for them to cope with the demand of globalization. The source of the
library information is expected to change the lifestyle of the local community.
This conceptual study suggests the potential impingement factors for reading
habits at the rural library in Malaysia. Based on the document analyses performed,
various potential factors that impinge the reading habits at the rural library
are identified namely place and the building, adequacy of tools and the librarian.
A number of discussion have been placed and it is a hope, such discussion can
assist to further cultivate reading habits among the community particularly
among those who settle in the rural areas.]]>Anderson, R.C., E.H. Hiebert, J.A. Scott and L.A.G. Wilkinson,1985Pages: 147Pages: 147Fisher, K.E., M. Saxton, P.M. Edwards and J.E.
