Hi, not directly related to Andrea's question, and there is extensive discussion and writing on the topic in other fields, yet related to a discussion of the library in a democracratic society, to the imparting of knowledge and wisdom as Dan has put forth to us, we could take a look at literature in the cognitive sciences, the literature of cognitive growth and development in humans.
Cognitive faculties are influenced by a variety of conditions internal and external, by relationships as well as by data and details, by the inner and ongoing developments of cognitive faculties not defined solely by the acquisition and trading of information and data. So I'd add a slim volume of Duckworth on Piaget here if not the original works themselves. And something on good tea, too!
