ILLITERACY

Abstract

In times of resource scarcity, libraries and librarians have a natural tendency to turn their attention to economic issues and away from social issues. But some social issues—like literacy—are also economic issues. Illiteracy continues to drain the country's assets, diverting the financial resources needed to support other domestic education programs, including those emanating from libraries.
