Basic tasks in library management include:

• planning the acquisition of materials
• classification of materials
• preservation of materials (especially rare and fragile materials such as manuscripts)
• borrowing materials
• developing and administering library computer systems

More long-term issues include the planning of the construction of new libraries or extensions to existing ones.
