Summary/Abstract: Sustainable development means such economic and social development of the community that is harmonized with the permanent preservation of its natural, human and social resources in a way that preserves the harmony of existing relations and use of resources and allows their further development and use in the future. Cultural heritage is one of the key resources of a community that gives it an identity, but also enables the inclusion of people in all social and economic trends in the modern world. Libraries are one of the key institutions for preserving the cultural heritage of a community. This paper points out the possibilities of using library potentials as communication resources for the development of sustainable tourism that would provide economic and social benefits to the local community through the affirmation of its cultural identity.
