Évaluation du vendeur 4 sur 5 étoiles
Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book is the first detailed exposition of Jesse Torrey's plan for an economical, extensive, and rapid dissemination of knowledge and virtue through the establishment of free public libraries. It is a seminal work in the history of public library advocacy in America, and it is essential reading for anyone interested in the history of libraries, education, or social reform. Torrey argues that ignorance is the root of most of the vices, crimes, errors, and follies that afflict humanity, and that knowledge is the key to human progress and happiness. He provides a detailed plan for the establishment of free public libraries, including suggestions for funding, governance, and collection development. Torrey hoped that the establishment of public libraries would help fulfill the promise of American democracy by providing all citizens with equal access to knowledge and opportunity. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. N° de réf. du vendeur 9781331442486_0
