An image information reading apparatus has an apparatus housing including in its front wall a cassette loading section which has first, second, third, and fourth loading regions, and a cassette placing section disposed immediately below the cassette loading section for placing a given number of cassettes therein. The operator of the image information reading apparatus temporarily places a given number of cassettes in the cassette placing section, and loads the cassettes, one by one, into the first, second, third, and fourth loading regions. No dedicated table for placing cassettes thereon is needed around the image information reading apparatus. The operator can handle the cassettes highly efficiently.
