Abstract: This study focused on exploring the interrelationship of library and literacy education programs of the North Carolina Community College System (NCCCS). The primary purpose of the study was to identify the nature of library involvement in the accomplishment of the literacy education mission of the fifty-eight-member organization of two-year institutions. The literacy education client group that was specified was the students enrolled in the Adult Basic Education (ABE) program, who were described as functionally illiterate. In order to obtain data for the perceptual analysis, identical three-part surveys were sent to fifty-seven of the institutions of the NCCCS, addressed to the library program director and the director of the ABE program. Respondents instructed to answer independently. A one hundred percent rate of return achieved. The collected data were arranged in tables of rankings and observations were noted.
