Abstract
Education is a basic human right for every person. Library is the source of education as it is like two
sides of coin. Learners who can’t afford to go to regular institutions for study due to time and space
barrier prefers distance education system which doesn’t not require to attend classroom in a definite
time, instead can learn from their home. The distance mode learners deprived off getting in touch
with the instructor or faculty all the time and hence library can be a solution to this. That is why
distance mode learners should be provided equal facilities if not more in comparison to regular
mode of students.The main objective of this study is to know the library services offered to the
distance mode learners across different study centres established in different places of Assam by
IGNOU, IDOL and KKHSOU. This study is done to see whether the distance mode learners are
privileged enough to enjoy the benefits using library services as well as scenario of library services
