The Manipur Public Libraries Act, 1988

The Manipur Public Libraries Act, 1988 provides a legal framework for establishing, maintaining, and expanding a public library system across the State of Manipur. It governs the creation of state and district-level administrative bodies to build, fund, and manage public libraries, branch units, mobile units, and social education centres. The law applies to state-run libraries, local body institutions, co-operative libraries, and privately managed libraries seeking government aid. For ordinary citizens, students, and educators, the Act ensures free or subsidized access to literature, educational materials, audio-visual tools, and community learning resources by mandating statutory state funding and structured administration.
