    "subtitle": null,
    "abstract": "<p>The evolving field of Library and Information Science (LIS) is undergoing a profound transformation as it navigates the complexity of the 21st century, fundamentally reshaping how information is accessed, managed, and delivered. This study explores the evolving paradigms of library services driven by the advent of digital technologies, the rise of immersive virtual environments, and an increasing emphasis on sustainability. It employs an exploratory literature review to investigate the integration of digital, virtual, and green libraries, encompassing their key components. As libraries stand at a pivotal crossroads, there is a pressing need for a comprehensive examination of these interconnected elements. By analyzing the synergies and potential overlaps between digital, virtual, and green library approaches, the study aims to provide valuable insight for librarians, administrates, and policymakers, ultimately fostering a more sustainable and user-centric library environment fulfilling the evolving needs of communities in the digital age. </p>\n<p> </p>",
