Abstract
The rapid evolution of digital technologies has significantly impacted how libraries operate and serve their communities, leading to a transformative shift in library services internationally. Despite the widespread acknowledgment of this digital shift, there remains a substantial gap in understanding of how libraries are adapting to these changes, particularly in terms of integrating digital innovations to enhance user access and engagement. This study aims to bridge this knowledge gap by examining the directional trends of library development in the context of digital transformation. By analysing library services in three regions - Europe, the United States of America, and Asia - critical adaptations and innovations are identified that are shaping the future of library services. The goal is to illuminate the current landscape and propose strategic directions to help library stakeholders with planning and implementation.
