Abstract: This paper explores the multifaceted landscape of public libraries in contemporary India, analyzing the significant challenges they face and the promising opportunities for their future. As vital community institutions, public libraries in India are grappling with systemic issues, including inadequate and inconsistent government funding, dilapidated physical infrastructure, and a persistent digital divide that limits access to modern information resources. Furthermore, a lack of professional staff and outdated service models hinder their ability to effectively serve the diverse needs of a rapidly evolving population. Amidst these challenges, a new horizon of opportunities is emerging. This includes leveraging digital technologies to create accessible e-learning platforms and online archives, transforming libraries into vibrant community hubs that host cultural events and skill-development workshops, and forging strategic partnerships with educational institutions and non-governmental organizations. By embracing innovation and adapting their roles, public libraries can transcend their traditional function as mere book repositories to become dynamic centers of lifelong learning, social cohesion, and digital inclusion. This abstract concludes that a strategic and concerted effort is essential to overcome existing barriers and unlock the immense potential of India's public libraries to contribute to a knowledge-driven society.
