Olvasók és olvasás a Cseh Köztársaságban.

This paper is concerned with the reading culture of the inhabitants of the Czech Republic (aged 15 years and over) against the background of three readership surveys (in 2007, 2010 and 2013 resp.). The deep interviews conducted focused on three areas: reading (books and journals), book purchase and library visits, and also dealt with digital reading, media use, leisure activities, and the mutual impact of reading and professional work. With regard to the entire period, reading can be considered as stable. The number of frequent readers has decreased, and there was a decrease in the purchase of books and library visits as well. Overall, it can be stated that the Czech population has a strong affinity for books: 82 % of the population read at least one book in the previous year. Frequent readers are also Internet users. Women read more, but in the age group of 25- to 44-year-olds, a decrease is experienced in the number of readers, book buyers, and the number of library visits. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
