Ranganathan's Laws of Library Science

Ranganathan's Laws of Library Science emphasize core principles for effective librarianship: first, that "books are for use," meaning resources should be accessible and utilized; second, "every reader their book," highlighting personalized service to meet individual needs; third, "every book its reader," ensuring resources reach the appropriate audience; and fourth, "save the time of the reader," advocating for efficient, user-friendly access to information. These laws underline the importance of making libraries functional, user-centered, and responsive to community needs, fostering an environment where knowledge is readily available and easily accessible.
