What is Teaching Adult Learners: A Guide for Public Librarians about?

Learning can be defined as the purposeful or incidental acquiring of information and skills throughout a person’s life that affects his or her life in a cognitive, emotional, and practical way (Jarvis 2018, 25). Why would a book about teaing start with a definition of learning? Because that is the entire point and the goal of all teaing: the people who are being taught learn. While “learning” is oen associated with formal institutions and certain periods of life, public libraries are in the forefront of resources and have the capabilities to offer lifelong learning opportunities to adult populations. Librarians and library staff who have an understanding of how and why adults learn can utilize that knowledge to enhance every transaction, from the basic reference interview to formal classes and programs.
