The Evolution of Literacy Programs in the Context of Library Adult Education.
Monroe, Margaret E.
Library Trends, v35 n2 p197-205 Fall 1986
This examination of library involvement in adult literacy programs argues that public libraries had their roots in widespread concern for literacy in the 17th century and traces the development of such programs to the present. Changing definitions of literacy are summarized, and current issues in adult library services are discussed. (EM)
