Abstract
The paper gives a review of the international and domicile legal framework for the right of access to information as well as international documents related to its implementation in the libraries. In the analysis of the legal framework for the right of access to information, the emphasis is put to the right to reuse the information from the public authority, principles,
enforcement and protection of the right of access to information, proportionality and public interest test and limitations of the right of access to information especially from the standpoint of data privacy. The implementation of the right of access to information in the libraries is shown from the library standpoint as an access centre to all kinds of information and their role in the modern society.
