Folk high schools are adult education institutions established in Denmark in the 19th century, being known for their focus on specific values and approach to teaching. The diploma thesis covers the topic of folk high schools from the period of their establishment, throughout the historical evolution of the concept, until the current situation of folk high schools and their social function. The thesis examines the possibility of integration of the selected model of folk high school in Czech Republic, more specifically within the Municipal Library of Prague (MLP). At the theoretical level, it was identified that it is necessary to adapt the Czech legislation and provide a fixed financial cover, in order to incorporate the folk high school to the system of public libraries in reality. Conducted quantitative research confirms the interest of users of the Municipal Library of Prague in a library as an adult education activities provider. Key words folk high school, liberal education, active citizenship, lifelong learning
