During 1920s-1930s, it was the era of expansion in adult education in the United States. Public libraries have also developed various educational services. In 1938, A. S. Johnson wrote The Public Library : A People's University, a study of adult education in libraries. This paper examines Johnson's book with the aim of studying library adult education in 1930s. In his book, Johnson discussed how public libraries were functioning in the adult education movement, how librarians felt about developing work of this kind, and what the future position of the library might be. Johnson made the point that public library had the active educational function in the community and recommended that public library should develop into the permanent center for adult education in the community. As the result of this study, it was found that Johnson's work contained some philosophies that support library adult service provided by public libraries in our time.
