The General Law of Libraries aims to promote and regulate public libraries, which are intended to provide public access in a democratic manner to the services of consultation of books, digital and print, as well as other complementary cultural services, such as guidance and information that enables the population to acquire, transfer, enhance and preserve free-form knowledge in all branches of knowledge. The importance of libraries in the promotion and dissemination of IP is evident.
