| Summary: | It was studied in the research if public libraries under the Ministry of Culture and Tourism in Ankara serve in accordance with the Circular of Library Service Principles. The troubles -if any- experienced during the implementation of the Circular and the possible reasons of those troubles were detected. Descriptive method was used in the research. Semi-structured interview technique was used to collect the data and the managers of the sample libraries were interviewed face-to-face.
