Are priests and deacons required to read the Gospel from the Book of the Gospels?

Question:

A priest at my parish proclaims shorter Gospel readings from memory. My friend says the priest must read directly from the Book of the Gospels. Is this true?

Answer:

See www.usccb.org/liturgy/current/chapter4.shtml.
