So far my knowledge concern we the library professionals in India celebrate the 12th August as LIBRARIANS' DAY to commemorate the BIRTH DAY of DR.S.R. RANGANATHAN; The Govt. of India decided to celebrate the Ranganathan's Birthday as Librarians' Day in India. His birthday is 9th August, and the day 9th August has already been celebrating as Quite India Movement Day in India as a National Red Letter Day. Therefore to avoid insignificance (due to celebration of two important day of National Importance) of celebration of Ranganathan's Birth Day the Govt. of India decided to celebrate it as Librarians' Day on 12th August as per the discussion held with Joint Council for Library Associations in India.

sir we need to celebrate 12th August as a national library day not a librarians day. Ranganathan was the founder of library science.

Dear Sir,

...it is right to be known about the facts behind celebration of a day/festival. As per the social and processional acceptance 12 August, is accepted as the Librarians Day. All most all the libraries and corporate bodies are also celebrating as Librarians Day. This day is assumed/accepted as Birthday of the S R Ranganathan. I don't have any idea behind celebrating of this day as "National Library Day" on 12 August. If you have any please share. By the all library professional should come on a single day, single thought, for a unique celebration. ย 

Thanking you...ย
