Summary/Abstract: Library infrastructure is seen as a part of the infrastructure of culture, education and science in the country. The article reviews the organization of libraries in territorial systems and networks, as well as the availability and development of the hierarchical and coordinative relations between them. An attempt to delineate and expand the notion of library infrastructure – in addition to libraries and library networks are included several components, that are not typical for this infrastructure, but are significant for its develoрment. These components are library education and library science (library research); library associations and library literature and publication (media). The aim is to focus on developing a strategy for library infrastructure that is based on the vision of widely available, high quality and efficient library services that meet the needs of users in today's society.
