National Library Act (Various Countries)

The National Library Act in various countries is legislation that establishes and governs the operation of the national library—an institution responsible for collecting, preserving, and providing access to the nation's knowledge, literature, and cultural heritage. These laws define the library's responsibilities, funding, management, and its role in promoting literacy and education. Essentially, they ensure the national library functions effectively as a central repository and resource for research, preservation, and public access to knowledge, supporting the nation's cultural and educational development.
