Библиотека как один из ведущих институтов культуры берет на себя эту функцию и реализует ее посредством работы с читателями. В статье рассматривается библиотечная деятельность по распространению научного знания в странах Африки. Представлены результаты исследования доступных сайтов библиотек Африки. Для поиска литературных источников использована платформа LENS.ORG (<ext-link xlink:href="https://www.lens.org/" ext-link-type="uri">https://www.lens.org/</ext-link>). Анализ доступных источников свидетельствует о низком уровне распространения научной информации в странах Африки. Это связано с такими проблемами, как плохая работа интернета, низкий общий уровень развития инфраструктуры, в частности перебои с электричеством, низкая квалификация сотрудников библиотек. Несмотря на то что в библиотеках проводятся научные конференции, лекции и семинары, работа в этом направлении находится на своем начальном этапе. Автор делает вывод, что совместная деятельность государственных структур, институтов культуры и науки способна привести к качественному и эффективному распространению научного знания во всех слоях общества.</p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="en"><p>The dissemination of scientific knowledge in society is an important vector of work of all social institutions. The library, as one of the leading cultural institutions, takes on this function and implements it through its work with readers. This article examines libraries activities to disseminate scientific knowledge in African countries. This article presents the results of a study of accessible library websites in Africa. The LENS.ORG platform (<ext-link xlink:href="https://www.lens.org/" ext-link-type="uri">https://www.lens.org/</ext-link>) was used to search for literary sources. As a result of the analysis of available sources, a conclusion was made about the low level of dissemination of scientific information in African countries. This is due to such problems as poor Internet performance, the general level of infrastructure development, in particular power outages, and low qualifications of library staff. Despite the fact that libraries host scientific conferences, lectures and seminars, work in this direction is at its initial stage. The author concludes that the joint activities of government agencies, cultural and scientific institutions can lead to high-quality and effective dissemination of scientific knowledge in all segments of society.</p></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>распространение научного знания</kwd><kwd>популяризация науки</kwd><kwd>библиотека</kwd><kwd>сайт</kwd><kwd>общество</kwd><kwd>Африка</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>dissemination of scientific knowledge</kwd><kwd>popularization of science</kwd><kwd>library</kwd><kwd>website</kwd><kwd>Africa</kwd></kwd-group><funding-group><funding-statement xml:lang="ru">Статья подготовлена по плану НИР ГПНТБ СО РАН, проект «Современное состояние и тенденции развития коммуникаций российской науки с обществом», №122040600059-7.</funding-statement></funding-group></article-meta></front><back><ref-list><title>References</title><ref id="cit1"><label>1</label><citation-alternatives><mixed-citation xml:lang="ru">Вахрамеева З.
