Abstract: A reading apparatus includes a reading part that reads information of a document, a housing that accommodates the reading part, a document feeding port through which the document is fed, a cover member disposed on the housing to be displaced to an open position at which the document feeding port is open and a closed position at which the document feeding port is closed, a drive source that displaces the cover member to the open position and the closed position, a position detection mechanism that detects a position of the cover member, and a control part, wherein the control part is configured to displace the cover member to the closed position by the drive source when a time during which reading by the reading part is not performed exceeds a predetermined time, and the position detection mechanism detects that the cover member is at the open position.
