This paper provides an overview of the Albanian library network
within the changing context of the past twenty-two years. The first
part traces the development of the library system in Albania by giving
a brief review of library legislation and library science education
and professional training. The second part provides background
information about the implementation of new technologies that
facilitated free access to information throughout the country. The
paper highlights the leadership role of the National Library of Albania
(NLA), which functions as the professional body that oversees all
libraries in the country, and its leading role nationwide. The NLA’s
engagement in various digitization projects that ensure access to
the Albanian national cultural heritage and treasures makes it an
important contributor to international projects as well.
