Abstract
The advent of social media has transformed the way libraries interact with their users and provide services. This study examines the impact of social media on library services, focusing on user engagement, learning experiences, and career development. A survey was conducted among library users to gather insights into their social media usage patterns and perceptions of library services. The results indicate that social media plays a significant role in enhancing learning experiences and user engagement with library resources. The study highlights the importance of social media platforms in career development and suggests strategies for libraries to leverage these platforms effectively.
