Public Libraries and Adult Education: An Historical Review.
Killacky, Jim
Research in Rural Education, v2 n2 p51-58 Fall 1983
Examines the literature on public libraries and adult education from 1833-present. Proposes that the public library is indeed central to meeting adult education tasks in rural areas. Concludes that, in the absence of outside funding, the potential for adult education as a central function of the public library is limited. (Author/NEC)
