Abstract:

Since ancient times, libraries have prioritized the safety of their reading materials, a principle directly reflected in Dr. S.R.Ranganathan's Five Laws of Library Science. Because a library’s foundation lies in its reading materials, it is the library's responsibility to ensure their protection. 

In today’s world, adulteration is found in almost everything even in food which directly impacts our health. Various efforts and laws have been established to mitigate this issue. Similarly, in libraries, many types of chemicals are used to protect books and furniture. However, my study clarifies that all library materials can be preserved with the help of Ayurveda. By using natural methods, libraries can also contribute to improving today's polluted environment."
