This committee of nine ýmembers put together the law of the Dâr al-Kutub that regulate the ýadministing, hiring, deposting, borrwing, operational process and ýother issues in the Dâr. The law consists of eighty-three articles. ýOne cannot determine wheather the committee had studied some ýother library laws in Europe hence had some influnce on the law of ýthe Dâr al-Kutub. It seems that the committee who authored this ýlaw were fully aware of how a library should operate. Some of ýthese regulations are still taking into considerations in the present ýtime.
