Eventually, many Malaysian local and international sectors are now implementing sustainability in their organization, and it’s time for the library to follow this trend in order to keep the existence of libraries. This study focuses on sustainability of rural libraries in Malaysia which is handled by National Library of Malaysia (NLM).
