Library Legislation (International Experience)

Abstract

Public libraries play an important role in promoting education, research, personal development and other important values. A society cannot flourish without proper education and a developed educational and library system.

Library legislation is the basis for creating a network of public libraries organized in any country. It ensures the management of the library and creates a stable financial basis for quality library services. The legislation also serves to protect the rights of library users. The study of the library legislation of different countries is useful for making necessary changes and additions to the legislation regulating the RA library sector.
