Splošna knjižnica – priložnost za vseživljenjsko učenje. Ponudba dejavnosti za odrasle v Knjižnici Cirila Kosmača Tolmin

The Libraries Act (2001) steered the development of general library services towards organising lifelong learning activities, fostering reading culture and organising cultural events. Smaller libraries in particular strive in their local environments to become information-education centres and meeting places. The paper presents the activities through which the Ciril Kosmač Library in Tolmin attempts to satisfy the intellectual and cultural needs of its adult users. The example of a small library shows that the cultural mission and educational function are directly linked and intertwined with the social role of libraries in the lives of individuals and the local community
