bookworms
Library's devoted regulars
Bookworms are people who read voraciously and enthusiastically, often preferring books to social activities: She's a real bookworm—always has her nose in a novel.
The term comes from the larvae of various insects that bore through and damage books, though calling someone a bookworm is affectionate rather than critical.
