臺灣《圖書館法》訂定於2001年，2015年修正至今。臺灣圖書館法制可溯源至民國初年，長期為國家圖書館的管理法，而隨著《出版法》因臺灣民主化時代的來臨而廢止，該法中出版品強制送存國家圖書館的義務必須另找法源，因而催生了《圖書館法》，賦予了圖書館全新的社會服務功能，更擴大公共圖書館對於身心障礙特殊讀者的服務。惟其美中不足之處，在於缺乏對於圖書館的使用者平等合理使用圖書館及閱讀權利的明文保障。

Taiwan's Library Law was passed in 2001 and revised in 2015. The development of Taiwan's library legal system can be traced back to the early years of the Republic of China, and the Library Law has long been the management law of national libraries. As the Printing Act was abolished along with Taiwan's democratization, the compulsory policy of delivering publications to the National Library must resort to another legal source. It gave birth to the Library Law, which stipulated new social service functions of libraries and expanded the service of public libraries to special readers with physical and mental disabilities. However, its shortcomings are the lack of explicitly legal stipulation to protect the library users' rights of equal and fair use and their right to read.
