Quick answer
- Craft a Lectern from 4 wooden slabs and 1 bookshelf.
- Place a book on it and anyone can read it.
- It's the job site for librarians.
Lecterns let you share a book with everyone on a server. They're also how you get a librarian with the enchanted book you want.

Books on lecterns
- Use a book and quill or a written book on the lectern to place it.
- Anyone can open it and read it.
- Take the book back from the reading screen.
Librarians
- Place a lectern near an unemployed villager.
- Check its first trade. If it's not the book you want, break the lectern and place it again.
- Once you trade with it, the villager keeps the job forever.
RerollingRerolling only works before you've traded with the librarian. Don't trade until you see the book you want.
Redstone
A comparator reads how far through the book the open page is. Turning a page also sends a short redstone pulse.
