Abstract
The state of West Bengal in India has a well-developed library system. Major portion of it is financed by government and some are developed and run by nongovernment organizations. This paper discusses the activities of libraries in promoting reading habits based on the initiatives taken up in a few libraries in the district of South 24 Parganas where the author resides. It also highlights the future activities involving Bengal Library Association and Raja Rammohan Roy Library Foundation to cover 6 libraries in three districts as a part of the pilot project. In the final project it will cover more libraries in all districts of West Bengal. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
