reading desk
Slanted study surface
A reading desk is a piece of furniture designed to hold books or documents at a convenient angle for reading, typically while standing or seated upright.
In churches, the reading desk—often called a lectern—holds scripture for public reading.
Study carrels and slanted writing surfaces also qualify as reading desks.
