Summary/Abstract: The psycho-social phenomena generated by mass-media and the new information and communication technologies at the level of the young generations have led to new communication prcatices that bypass libraries and revolutionized the intellectual labor practices, with texts being rather used than read. In this context, our article examines the need to increase the library's role in developing the quality of education and research and brings to attention a few possible solutions which include a partnership between various types of libraries and between librarians' associations and NGOs to facilitate education through library and safeguard reading.
