dc.description.abstractThis paper explores the indispensable functions of libraries in promoting social inclusion, enhancing educational outcomes, and bridging the digital divide, especially for marginalized populations such as low-income families, immigrants, individuals with disabilities, and rural communities. Special attention is given to how modern libraries adapt through digital services, outreach programs, and partnerships with schools and local organisations to meet evolving societal needs. And it also concludes that sustained investment in library systems is essential for building equitable societies and ensuring that all citizens have the tools necessary to thrive in a knowledge-based world. The major challenges faced by the libraries in mitigating the inequalities in societal lack of funds, lack of awareness on the social in equalities, lack of ethics and lack of vision in implementing the resources in libraries
