I would love for GLs and Lodges to set up programs to enable Masons to increase/improve their overall knowledge of the Craft. I would guess that the majority of Freemasons in the USA have never read a book about Masonry, and never had much of a desire to do so.
There are terrific resources available, so that anyone, from the newest EA to old coots like myself, can increase their understanding of the craft.
I have been in lodges in 14 states, and WashDC. only in a very few have I seen a "library", where individual members can check out books, and read them at home.
