Abstract

Cooke, for several decades one of the Capitol's most influential lobbyists on behalf of ALA and library services, tells about the political appeal of libraries at the national level. Cooke runs down the history of library‐related legislation, covering a span from the late '50s up until the present day. Following this historical rundown, Cooke puts into perspective the current Goals for American Education, how they relate to history, and how they will affect the future.
