Abstract
Libraries, as centres of knowledge and learning, have consistently evolved to meet the changing needs of their users. In the digital age, emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI), blockchain, the Internet of Things (IoT), virtual and augmented reality (VR/AR), and big data analytics are reshaping how libraries operate. This paper explores the applications of these technologies in libraries, highlighting their transformative impacts on library services, resource management, and user engagement. Integrating these innovations enhances accessibility, improves operational efficiency, and fosters new forms of learning and collaboration.
Keywords: Mobile Library Services, virtual and augmented reality (VR/AR), Emerging technologies ln library, Artificial Intelligence.
