Reading and Readers in Changing Estonia.

Lepik, Aira

International Information and Library Review, v27 n1 p25-36 Mar 1995

Examines reading habits of Estonians with studies dating back to the 1960s and discusses the impact of the printed word on culture. Focuses on changes since the Estonian's transition to the market economy: (1) reading has become casual and less frequent; (2) literary preferences have shifted; and (3) smaller home libraries have increased the need for public libraries.
