Literacy is one of the main planks on which cultural, social and economic development of the country depends. In a country like India public libraries have a responsibility to increase the numbers of literate and educated people through appropriate programmes. Libraries can also provide a solid base to the national literacy mission. There are enough cases of people slipping back to illiteracy for want of reading material. Therefore, only libraries can act as tools for sustaining literacy in the country. Thus, the libraries serve as the store rooms of knowledge and its dissemination through different techniques among persons to participate in a creative manner in community life and to promote better understanding between individuals, groups and nation offering educational possibilities to the people
