The Act prohibited, where it was "to the annoyance or disturbance" of any other user - disorderly behaviour, the use of obscene or abusive language, gambling or betting, and persistently remaining within the library beyond its stated closing hours. It applied only to England and Wales. The Act is still in force, though to a limited degree; it no longer extends to public libraries, which are dealt with under the Public Libraries and Museums Act 1964, and as such it only applies to libraries maintained by trade unions, societies regulated by the Co-operative and Community Benefit Societies Act 2014, or friendly societies. The forty-shilling fine has now been replaced by a fine of up to level 1 on the standard scale. (en)
