Why not a National Level Library Legislation instead of State Level?
Passing a Library Legislation in the interest of public libraries is the necessity of hour. But why should'nt we strengthen/pass a National Level Legislation which would cover all the states of the country. I think this would better leverage the sate of public libraries more effectively and efficiently than any state level library legislation. This would further create uniformity as funding would be done from a single body to the libraries of all states and equal laws would be followed nation-wide. Please give your valuable views in this regard.

Dear Friend is very good.But Implementation of Library Legislation is State Policy.Instead of this ,the center should follow the guidelines laid by NKC.And also Center should insists States to enact Library Legislation.If you go through the Library Legislation of the ,who already enacted there is no uniformity this Should be rectified first.Then it will become uniformity
