The state Andhra was formed on 1st October, 1953, comprising of
Telugu- Speaking areas of the erstwhile Madras Presidency. Later Andhra and Telangana areas merged as Andhra Pradesh State from 1st November 1956 under the States Reorganization Act of 1956. Its capital is Hyderabad and has 23 districts spread over an area of 2,75,045 sq km. When Andhra Pradesh was formed, the Madras Public Libraries Act of 1948 was in force in Andhra area and Hyderabad Public Libraries Act 1955 was in force in Telangana area. There were some operational difficulties in the administration of two different Acts on the same subject in the same State. So, both the Acts were amalgamated, modified, brought up to date, and passed an integrated act i.e. Andhra Pradesh Public Libraries Act, 1960, which came into force from 1st April 1960, for entire Andhra Pradesh. A separate and independent directorate has been established in the year 1961. It is under the Administrative control of Hon’ble Minister of School Education of Primary Education. This act was later amended in 1964, 1969, 1987 and in 1989. Andhra Pradesh has a good Public Library system with State Central Library, Regional Libraries, District central Libraries and branches and full time Director to control the system.
