Since the war there has been a remarkable increase in the number and diversity of university and WEA courses for adults, and the future needs are currently being assessed by the Russell Committee. The problem of book provision for adult students is long-standing and has not yet been adequately solved. The present situation is described, and it is argued that the best solution is likely to be the formation of regional libraries for adult education, based where possible on existing extramural libraries of universities and responsible to regional liaison committees.
