Bridging Knowledge and Faith A Comparative Analysis of Ranganathan's Library Science Laws and the Church's Mission of Service, Growth, and Accessibility

This paper explores the parallels between S.R. Ranganathan's Five Laws of Library Science and the Church's mission of service, accessibility, and growth. Analyzing each law alongside theological principles, it highlights how both libraries and churches prioritize accessibility, personalization, and continual development to meet community needs. The study reveals shared values in fostering personal and communal transformation, providing insights for leaders in both fields to adapt to societal changes while remaining true to their mission of service and enrichment.
