The study of the evolution of development and implementation of technological innovations in the activities of Ukrainian public libraries is relevant in view of the growing role of information and knowledge in society, changing user needs, and the need to increase the competitiveness of libraries. The purpose of the study is to analyse the stages of introducing technological innovations into the work of libraries and the impact of new digital technologies on the services provided by libraries. The study used such methods as analysis, generalisation, explanation, and classification. A review of methods and stages of technological innovations was conducted, and articles by contemporary scientists and researchers who dealt with the issues of library technological innovations were analysed. The impact and prospects of the latest technologies in the work of libraries were investigated. The introduction of technologies raises several ethical issues, such as data privacy, algorithm bias, and the impact on freedom of speech. Technological progress opens up great opportunities for libraries. Artificial intelligence can automate routine tasks, improve information retrieval, and personalise services for users. Virtual and augmented reality will allow the creation of interactive educational and cultural programs, conducting virtual tours of libraries and museums. Blockchain can provide secure and transparent data management, as well as protect copyrights. Technological progress has expanded access to information resources beyond the physical walls of the library. E-books, online databases, and digital archives have made vast collections remotely accessible, especially valuable in geographically dispersed regions. Modern trends in the implementation of technological innovations in the activities of Ukrainian public libraries include the use of artificial intelligence, virtual and augmented reality, and blockchain. This research aims to help Ukrainian libraries successfully implement technological innovations to better serve their users and meet the needs of society in the digital age
