Also, Wormtongue was not yet poisoning the mind and body of the king. That began in around 3017.

Ithilion, Discussions Moderator (Auta i lómë) I agree with you, since I would guess that Orcs, Rohirrim, Dunlendings, Dalish folk, and Half-trolls would all be illiterate. But for gameplay purposes, let's just assume everyone's literate. Mevans is doing this anyways, as all the factions I just mentioned have lore books, probably because their fans would be pissed off if they didn't have lore books.
