[English Abstract]

This second of a series of articles on Public Libraries in search of set objectives draws attention of the government to the urgent need for enacting a Library Legislation in Kerala. Kerala has more number of libraries than that of any other State of India. But among them those who can fulfill the objective of a community Information Centre is less than a dozen. The village libraries have got degraded into places where reading facility is provided for local newspapers, popular magazines as well as a few novels and stories are distributed for leisure time reading. Beyond the annual sports and arts festivals they organize they have no role in the development of the people. The paper argues that preparing standards and enacting Library legislation only can change the situation.
