AbstractHistoryArchive Description

Martyn Lyons considers the attempts to 'extend and to integrate the Australian reading public' through adult education, the development of factory and workplace libraries, and voluntary schemes to bring books to isolated areas. He discusses these attempts with reference to the Australasian Home Reading Union, the New South Wales Railway and Tramway Institute Library, and the Bush Book Club of New South Wales.
