"Leer" is the infinitive = "(to) read".
In the sentence "necesito leer", the first verb "necesito" requires a complement; that is, something that specifies what I need. One possible complement is the infinitive of a different verb, just like English "I need to X". You use an infinitive in the complement of "necesitar" when both verbs have the same subject.
