1956 reasons for the increase in the number of libraries
1956 The reasons for the increase in the number of libraries are as follows:

1, the state attaches importance to education: 1956 is the seventh year since the founding of New China, and the state attaches more importance to education. The construction of schools and other educational institutions has been strongly supported, and the construction of libraries is also an important part of it.

2. The role of the library was recognized: in the early days of the founding of New China, the main role of the library was to meet the needs of the government and the army, but by 1956, the social role of the library began to be recognized, and people began to realize the important role of the library in popularizing knowledge and culture and improving the quality of the people.

3. People's needs are met: In rural areas of China, due to economic backwardness and low education level, people's knowledge needs are very great, but the construction of rural libraries was still relatively weak at that time. Therefore, the government began to vigorously support the construction of rural libraries to meet people's knowledge needs.

4. Increase of book resources: Before 1956, there were relatively few book resources due to historical reasons and social environment restrictions. However, with the development and progress of society, book resources have greatly increased, which also provides better conditions for the construction of libraries. A library is an institution that collects, sorts out and collects books and materials for people to read and refer to. As early as 3000 BC, libraries appeared. Library has the functions of preserving human cultural heritage, developing information resources and participating in social education.
