The Public Library Law is a fundamental law in the field of public culture in China.Since its introduction,domestic scholars have had many insights into the basic principles of the Public Library Law,and the results have covered a wide range.Despite the richness of theoretical resources,there is still a lack of a systematic framework for integration.According to the article,based on the three establishing criteria of the constitution,rational people and legal practice,we should clarify the three universal principles of orientation,equality and mandatory nature and the five special principles of public welfare and gratuitousness,dominance and participation,accessibility and serviceability,safety and security,and integration and coordination of the Public Library Law.And then,from the perspective of relevant legislation,judicial practice and institutional operation,we should promote the concrete application of the basic principles of the Public Library Law through the introduction of national legal interpretations,the promulgation of relevant local regulations,the improvement of the content of reasoning in adjudication documents,the establishment of a benign legal responsibility system,the implementation of the system of head offices and branch libraries,the promotion of multi-majority construction,the advocacy of reading for the whole group,and the promotion of the special collection and other initiatives.
