About Libraries
Libraries in 2025 are transforming into AI-powered knowledge commons with 95% offering digital literacy training and 40% featuring maker spaces with 3D printers and VR equipment.
The emergence of Algorithmic Accountability Officers reflects libraries' new role auditing AI systems for bias while AI-powered chatbots provide 24/7 patron support.
Traditional reference sections evolve into experiential learning environments where AI-enabled surfaces respond to voice commands, positioning libraries as innovation hubs that blend digital transformation with community-centered services.
