National Library Act shaped 1960 separation from Parliament Library
The National Library Act of 1960 defined the National Library as an autonomous body distinct from the Parliamentary Library. It set responsibilities to maintain and develop national collections, provide access to material, and operate under a trustee-like framework, with governance by a nine-member council and the Commonwealth Government overseeing library services.
