Dearest Akhter sir!
The delivery of Books (Public Libraries) Act, 1954: No. 27 of 1954, as amended by the Delivery of Books (Public Libraries) Amendment Act, 1956: No. 99 of 1956.
According to this rule, every publisher in India must have to send a new book and newspaper to National library of Culcatta and other three public libraries are:
Connemara Public Library, Chennai;
Asiatic Society of Bombay's library;
Delhi Public library.
dear sir for more details please go through this hyperlink of BOOK Delivery Act 1954
thanks

Hello,
Sir, I feel if D.B.Act covers the one special library (S&T) and one public library of each state in India then it will be more beneficial.

Library Professionals Associations, National Knowledge Commission and Central and State Govt should take the initiative in this regard. It needs collaborative efforts of all.

Dear LIS professional,
If Every states' One library has come under in Book Act 1954, then how many copies has to send to libraries by every publisher. Who will wear the cost of books and postal charges??
suppose, charges can be paid by public libraries, in this way every one will try to publish a book, because at-least 27 copies are reserve for sell.
At last i will say, it can have adverse effect of book act.
thanks
