The scientific novelty consists in the identification of the main system-forming elements, which in the relationship and mutual influence form the innovative media space of the modern library. On their basis, the conceptual model of the library innovative media space is substantiated, the main concepts of which are defined as digital technologies, the tasks of the library social and communicative activities in the digital media space, as well as the digital competence of the library specialist.
