The Rural Libraries from Arad during the Interwar Period

  • TITLU în română: Bibliotecile rurale din Arad în perioada interbelică
  • Subiect: One of the most dynamic fields in the process of spreading literacy in the rural world during the interwar period was the establishment of libraries. Primarily, they were meant to help individuals stay in touch with the practice of reading after graduating from elementary schools or classes for adults. The setting up of new libraries and the enrichment of the existing ones was a dynamic phenomenon in the villages from Arad County. There was indeed a tradition of reading societies here, some operating with the choirs, and there were also popular casinas (cultural and political societies) with preoccupations in the field; however, the books were few, and they were unattractive for the members of the rural communities; this led to libraries becoming part of a cultural reconstruction plan which yielded genuine results.
