Since 2009, the growth of global economy has slowed down because of European debt crisis, trade protectionism, and Brexit. Western countries introduced fiscal austerity policies and budget cutting caused a lot of libraries were shut down or services decreased. Before the European parliament election in 2019, five library organizations including EBLIDA and IFLA initiated and signed Library Manifesto Europe, appealing European Parliament and international communities to pay attention to the important role of library for citizens to obtain information. The author believes that libraries in our country should improve publicity to the policy-makers, care for peoples' livelihood, actively participate in the revision of intellectual property law, and shoulder more social responsibility, create new services, and at the same time, strive for more speaking power in the public decision-making, thus creating more favorable policy and social environment for library development.
