Dear Sir,
Kindly make different between, Library movement and Library Education movement,
If I am right u r talking about the Library Movement,
yes, the growth of libraries in India, was very slow during freedom struggle, it was associated only the main universities of metro cities. there were only few public libraries which was used for Britishers.
the present National Library, (earlier Imperial Library) was established in the second half of 19th century.
