Abstract
This study provides a general overview of the laws and administrative regulations affecting all types of libraries in the Philippines. It elaborates upon some problems and potentialities and offers some guideposts and recommendations for the most promising solution of our library problems. Recognizing that the state is obligated to provide a sound legal foundation for the establishment and maintenance of libraries, it is recommended that a broad and far-reaching plan for library development be formulated. It is likewise recommended that a National Central Library Advisory Board with policy-making and advisory powers be appointed and that effective and progressive library legislation be adopted; for example, legislation providing for adequate financial for public libraries.
