An extreme or irrational fear or dislike of books; a condition of being unable to read or being deeply averse to books and reading.
From Greek biblio- (book) and -phobia (fear of). This clinical-sounding term emerged in the late 19th century, though actual bibliophobia is extremely rare; it's more often used humorously.
True bibliophobia is rare, but the term perfectly captures the anxiety some people feel when confronted with massive libraries or expectations to read—for them, books feel overwhelming rather than comforting.
