Siyali Ramamrita Ranganathan was a mathematician and librarian from India. In 1931 he proposed the following:
- Books are for use.
- Every reader their book.
- Every book its reader.
- Save the time of the reader.
- The library is a growing organism
Not being a librarian, I was unfamiliar with these. If you are too, check out this article on Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Five_laws_of_library_science
