  • A cabinet de lecture (in English: reading room), sometimes also called a cabinet littéraire, was an establishment where members of the public in the 18th and 19th centuries could, in exchange for a small fee, read public papers, as well as old and new literary works. Individuals were able to hire books by the hour, making cabinets de lecture "precursors of modern libraries and an important and reliable market for books" A monthly subscription to most cabinets de lecture were also available, allowing the subscriber to pay a monthly fee and within that month withdraw as many books from the cabinet de lecture as they desired. Also known as "literary circles" or "salons," reading rooms allowed the general public not only to read the material found there, but also to take it home. The establishments complemented libraries in that they stocked the daily newspapers, periodicals, pamphlets, novels and other new publications that public libraries lacked. The ‘cabinets de lecture’ also remained open from the morning through to the evening, and so for studious members of the public they offered inexpensive shelter, warmth, light and education. (en)
  • Un cabinet de lecture est un établissement où le public du XVIIIe et du XIXe siècle pouvait lire, moyennant une faible rétribution, les feuilles publiques et les ouvrages nouveaux et anciens. Également appelés « salons et cercles littéraires », ces établissements, qui permettaient au public, non seulement de lire les journaux, brochures et ouvrages divers qui s’y trouvaient, mais encore de les emporter à domicile, suppléaient aux bibliothèques publiques, d’abord en ce qu’on y trouvait les journaux du jour, qu’on ne trouvait pas alors dans ces bibliothèques, ainsi que les revues, les brochures, les romans et généralement toutes les nouveautés qui manquaient à celles-ci. Ensuite parce qu’ils demeuraient ouverts depuis le matin jusqu’au soir et qu’ils offraient aux personnes studieuses, d’une manière toute économique, asile, feu, lumière et instruction. (fr)
  • Un cabinet de lecture era un luogo in cui i soci, nei secoli XVIII e XIX, potevano leggere documenti pubblici, giornali, opere letterarie antiche e moderne, in cambio di una piccola quota. Noti anche come "circoli letterari" o "sale di lettura," consentivano ai soci non solo di leggere il materiale disponibile, ma anche di portarlo a casa. I cabinet erano un complemento delle biblioteche in quanto fornivano giornali quotidiani, periodici, opuscoli, romanzi e altre nuove pubblicazioni che mancavano nelle biblioteche pubbliche. I "cabinets de lecture" rimanevano aperti dalla mattina alla sera, e così offrivano ai membri riparo, calore, luce e istruzione poco costosi. (it)
