1) first and the foremost is census of all type of the Public Libraries should done along with their status

3) Regarding finance Library Cess should be implemented in all the States,because it is the permanent source of income for the states to maintain & development of Libraries
4) Priority should be given for the development of Rural Libraries.These Libraries should be constructed
in Proximity of Primary School ,so that school Children can make use of Library
5) Training to be given to all the Rural Librarians

7) Library Committee should be formed in all types of Library ,so that it should include one proessionaal person in all the committee.
