Abstract
An image reading apparatus that includes an auxiliary feeding member provided upstream of a feeding roller in a feeding direction, and a first displacement member to be displaced between a first non-contact position at which a medium and a feeding roller do not contact with each other and a first contact position at which those contact with other. As the first displacement member is displaced, the auxiliary feeding member is displaced between a contact position for contacting the feeding roller and a non-contact position for not contacting the medium placed on the medium placement unit.
