besides dark sages, sulphuric potions, potions of education and wishing, are there any other ways to attain literacy for adventurers without it?

Playing since gamma 10, when necklaces looked like &s. Lithium man. Brass + Lithium. OCG. Illiterate barb. One race and one class to go.
Maybe the level 25 bard class power?

I believe that speaking to the Ghost Librarian grants literacy at 100. [edit]Possibly only at the same time you get the weird tome.
Hoping to win with every class, doomed. Archer, Barbarian, Bard, Beastfighter, Druid, Elementalist, Farmer, Fighter, Monk, and ULE Priest down.
The Ghost Librarian raises your Literacy to 100 if you have it - is it also possible to gain Literacy from it? I'd imagine at that point in the game every non-intentionally illiterate character has Literacy, so I wonder if it has ever been tried.
edit: bah, this is what I get for opening tabs and not reloading. Your Literacy is raised to 100 when you get the Weird Tome, as I recall.

this is kind of the direction my question was going. is it possible to gain literacy from the ghost librarian or does he only increase it if you have it?

I can confirm that in 1.1.1, at least, receiving the weird tome from the Ghost Librarian automatically gives 100 Literacy even to illiterate characters.

I can confirm that it also works in later versions. Minor nitpick, sometimes your literacy is raised to / granted at a value just below 100.
