May Library Legislation be a solution for betterment of library profession. Are Library professionals in better positions in those states, where the library legislation has been passed.

Dear Sri Ratnesh Kumar Tiwari

Thanks for your post. You have addressed an highly critical question.

In West Bengal, where the Public Library Act has been passed some 30+ years ago, the Librarians in Public Libraries are certainly in a better position financially compared to their predecessors!  Librarians in Rural, Town or subdivision Libraries being government servants are well acceptable for matrimonial purposes as well. So socially too they are in a comparatively better position.

However, whether professionally they are in a better position or not, is rather debatable.

Of course at this age, as I see the perception of majority of (including young) people, the above two items ( this is an age of item numbers, you know well !!) really matter and as often I hear in the Campus Profession ko maro goli !!

I am sorry and apologise if I have hurt the consensus of any of our professionals but by and large, what most of us want/cherish is pay packet. The more fat they are, more glad we are.

I admit  and believe that money really matters. In the words of Balzac Money is the petrol of life. But as I feel, we should allocate ourselves at least a couple of minutes to think what we as professionals are contributing to the society.

Sincerely,

Siddhartha S. Ray, Calcutta
