The conference highlights the evolving role of libraries in the modern digital age and underscores how libraries go beyond their traditional functions and embrace new roles and technologies to better serve their communities. Libraries integrate with various aspects of society, including technology, education, and cultural activities to provide comprehensive and integrated services. Libraries today focus on inclusivity and ensure that their services are accessible to all. To make it brief the conference reflects the transformation of libraries into dynamic and multifaceted community hubs that extend their reach beyond traditional book lending services. They are embracing new technologies, fostering inclusivity, and integrating with other organizations to create a more holistic and vibrant community resource.
