The integration of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) into library systems has revolutionized the management and dissemination of information, marking a significant shift from traditional manual operations to automated, digital processes. Library automation, driven by ICT tools such as Integrated Library Management Systems (ILMS), online catalogs, RFID, and digital databases, has transformed how libraries organize, store, and provide access to resources. This paper explores the role of ICT in enhancing the efficiency, accessibility, and user engagement in modern libraries. It also highlights the benefits, such as improved service delivery and cost-effectiveness, alongside challenges including financial constraints, technological dependencies, and the digital divide. Ultimately, the integration of ICT and automation not only streamlines library operations but also redefines the library's role in a rapidly evolving digital information landscape.
