What is a Lectern?
A lectern in Minecraft acts like a book shelf to store multiple books for other players to view in the multiplayer mode of Minecraft. It can also be used as a display piece in your house in which you can showcase a book and a quill. The lectern will also emit a red stone pulse anytime somebody right clicks on the lectern and turns the pages of the book placed on the lectern.
Lecterns are also used to assign the librarian profession to the villagers. Once you place a lectern in the area, any villagers without a profession will be assigned to the lectern and take on the role of a librarian. Librarians are very useful as they will turn normal books into enchanted books and even sell enchanted books to the player.
