Abstract
School libraries face significant problems in establishing and maintaining stable hygrothermal
variables essential for the long-term preservation of literary materials and educational
resources. This difficulty is further exacerbated by the presence of numerous distractions
within educational institutions, combined with limited staff and inadequate infrastructure.
The study presents an Internet of Things (IoT) based monitoring and control system that
utilises microcontrollers, sensors, and automated devices to enable real-time regulation of
temperature and humidity. The proposed system mitigates deviations from established
preservation thresholds and lays the groundwork for data-based environmental management
practices. By utilising economical and energy-efficient solutions, this system aligns with
broader objectives aimed at the sustainable development of educational entities. Through the
adoption of IoT, libraries have the potential to evolve into innovative, efficient resources
while maintaining a steadfast dedication to educational reform and addressing climate change
as a pathmaker to the SDGs of the United Nations
