Human attains to the perfection only through knowl-
edge. Without due cause, nature gifted the mankind with 
a sense of intelligence. Indeed, we are different from other 
creatures by spirituality and intelligence. For the intelli-
gence, reading books is the most important necessity. One 
of the wise men said, «The book is a light and light-re-
flecting beacon for your life».

Indeed, over the centuries through books, great achieve-
ments of the personality civilization have been inherited from 
the ancestors to generations. Unfortunately, there are some 
groups of people who are considering that the book and the 
age of reading have recently passed, as we have set ahead to 
the era of computer and information. The book (including the

press) is much more powerful than TV or the Internet. For in-
stance, in the most countries of the world where information 
technology and post industry have been developed, such as 
Japan, China and Norway, and the culture of reading is still 
in great demand for intellectuals. The Internet or social net-
working websites seem to be never replaceable to print media.
A book is a source of enlightenment. Its each page urges 
the human to do research, endeavor diligence, and make in-
novative creations. Perhaps, advance networks are quite fast 
than reading current situation. But culture and enlighten-
ment as analysis the segments are found only in the books. 
Enlightenment is boundless.
The book bears respect in young generations» mind to 
the native language. It plays a crucial role in the formation 
of feelings, such as self-awareness, love for the Motherland, 
dedication to the fate of society.
Scientists have discovered that humanity»s spiritual 
needs dates back into the time of the primitive social system. 
The culture of daily life, the history of fine and applied art, 
allows us to draw conclusions. Later, this process caused 
the need to record what they had seen and experienced. 
The books made from clay and resin, piles of papyrus leaves 
emerged. In the 3rd or 4th millennium of BC, in the territory 
of Asia Minor appeared the first libraries in the civilization of 
Mesopotamia, Mohenjodoro and Harappa in India.
Today, the book industry is also developing. Due to the 
fact that over the year 2017 there have been opened more 
than 15,000 bookstores and thousands of libraries have 
been functioning in Uzbekistan, we believe the Internet and 
media will never be able to squeeze books out of our lives. 
Hence, the great writer Dante Aligeri said: «The most im-
portant thing for a man after the meal is considered to be the 
book». Moreover, in any country where the love of the book 
is strong and the children of the country are knowledgeable, 
it becomes mighty and spiritually powerful nation.
In recent years, the agenda for supporting readership and 
reading culture in Uzbekistan has become one of the main 
issues. A number of normative-legal documents have been 
developed in this regard. Even the President Decree and 
Law were adopted. The National action of «A Young Reader» 
was announced under the initiative of the Republican Youth 
Union. The main prize for contest winners is an automobile 
«Spark». Definitely, these will contribute to the increase in 
literacy culture of reading among the people.

Having inspired by this opportunity and incentives var-
ious publishing houses, non-governmental and non-profit 
organizations, associations and institutions organize book 
fairs. In general, these days the period of reading reins in the 
country.
The book is not only enriching human knowledge but 
also it is influencing on health. In some countries, library-
therapy as a treatment has been introduced. Another inter-
esting fact is in 2006, the experiments of neuro psycho exper-
tise revealed significant changes in the brain of a human being 
who read Shakespeare»s works. Moreover, the conclusions 
also show that detective and adventurous stories mislead the 
minds and overturn negative thoughts, increasing focus and 
observation. Science fiction works to enrich imagination and 
instill desires without fear. Philosophical and religious litera-
ture give the impression of the integrity of the world and de-
fine the role of man and prevent psychological distress. All this 
shows how important reading in the civilization of mankind.
