Despite not holding a recreational reading collection, 5.3% of responding
libraries promoted recreational reading. Conversely, 8 (14%) of those
responding stated that they had a recreational reading collection but did not
promote recreational reading. Taken together, 40% of responding libraries
either held a recreational reading collection and/or promoted recreational
reading, which is a surprisingly high figure given the negative opinions
some respondents expressed about the place of recreational reading within
the university library context.
