ABSTRACT

Melvil Dewey has been evaluated as a person of library movement, a man of thought, and a pioneer. However, the life-long achievements as a teacher has not been considered in the domain of library science. The foundations of Dewey’s thought of public library can be divided into two categories: school education and home education. Based on these two types of education, Dewey established the major role of public libraries in supporting the life-long education of the public. Regardless of the great achievement of Dewey in education, few research has been conducted. The purpose of this research is to consider the role of libraries from the perspective of life-long education based on the thought of Dewey.
