- Re: Reading and the Library. Manzo, A. V. And Others Adult Basic Education Independent Study Libraries Library Role Library Services Literacy Reading Reading Development Regional conferences on the Right to Read Effort were held with the purpose of having reading specialists address librarians concerning the peoples' right to read. One paper of this volume surveys reading in America, outlines problems of extending the right to read to all, and indicates possible means of action. Another entry views the library as an independent learning center designed to serve undereducated adults, primarily by improving reading skills. The authors urge librarians to expand their supportive role to include the development and certification of planned independent study programs. The overriding purpose of the specialists is to provide ideas to librarians so that they may develop a more explicitly educational function for the library--particularly with reference to advancing the cause of total literacy.
