An image reading apparatus, comprising:

• a reading unit configured to read an image on a medium;
• a medium placement unit on which the medium is placed;
• a feeding roller configured to feed the medium placed on the medium placement unit in a feeding direction;
• an auxiliary feeding member provided upstream of the feeding roller in the feeding direction and configured to feed the medium with the feeding roller;
• and
• a first displacement member configured to be displaced between a first non-contact position and a first contact position, wherein
• the first non-contact position is a position at which the medium placed on the medium placement unit and the feeding roller do not contact with each other in a feeding standby state in which the feeding roller and the auxiliary feeding member stand by for feeding of the medium,
• the first contact position is a position at which the medium placed on the medium placement unit and the feeding roller contact with each other in a feeding state in which the feeding roller and the auxiliary feeding member feed the medium, and
• 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.
