Abstract
Public libraries play a vital role in the development of human resources. It is one of the services rendered by a public library. Human resources cannot be compared with the country's other natural resources, such as water resources, soil and mineral resources, because human resources are the nucleus of all other activities. Hence, the Government has to enrich human resources in all spheres. The present study is initiated to assess users' satisfaction with the resources, infrastructural facilities and services provided by the district central library. They constructed a questionnaire and distributed the same selected 150 public library users. The researcher received 129 fully completed responses from the respondents. The users of the district central library in Thanjavur are satisfied with the resources and services of the library. The location of the library does not favour them.
