perusers
Those who browse
Perusers are people who peruse—who read or examine something carefully.
The word carries the same ironic tension as its root: a peruser might be studying a document with scholarly attention or just casually browsing magazine racks.
The library's perusers ranged from serious researchers to people killing time.
