Summary/Abstract: In the information age, libraries and librarians play vital roles in fostering equitable access to knowledge and promoting digital literacy. As information becomes increasingly abundant and complex, librarians act as navigators, helping users discern credible sources from false information. Libraries serve as inclusive community hubs, providing not only access to a vast array of digital and physical resources but also offering educational programs that bridge the digital divide. By supporting lifelong learning and ensuring that all community members can engage with information critically and confidently, libraries and librarians remain indispensable in our rapidly evolving digital landscape.
