Second law, “Every reader his/her books”, suggests that there’s a specific reader for each type of
book, there’s a book for everyone, regardless of age, gender, status, religion or any individual coming
from different social background who wants to read. In libraries, the collection should meet all the
different fields of interests of all its patrons.
Third law, “Every books its reader”, as the second law suggests, there should be no discrimination in
choosing information materials to be purchased/added to the library collection even if there’s only a
small fraction of readers on a specific field of interest. For every book, caters to a specific reader.
Fourth law, “Save the time of the reader”. This law puts emphasis on the importance of efficiently
delivering the reader’s need on a timely manner. On the absence of technology then,
libraries/librarians conceptualizes on different ways to address this concern, by developing strategies
on cataloging, classification and shelving of materials. Today, searching of materials can be easily
done solely by the reader through different library systems like Open Public Access Catalogue (OPAC),
with the growing number of library patrons, libraries should come up with different ways to serve
every clients quickly and efficiently.
The last law, “A library is a growing organism”. Even in the emergence of information technology,
libraries continue to grow and adapt to these technological advancements. Library collections
nowadays does not merely include physical books, journals, or reference resources, but it has a wide
variety of e-resources (e-books, e-journals, free online resources/databases) available for access in
the library for research. The library has evolved from just a reading place to a collaboration space, it
provides media services to its patrons, or even as a recreational space to its environs. Thus, libraries
continues to develop and grow their collection, expand the library space, and acquire more staff to
ensure the smooth flow of delivering quality library service.
