Abstract
The article examines the problem of the transformation of modern libraries in the context of the digitalization of society and the development of artificial intelligence technologies, specifically focusing on the organization of library clubs. The relevance of the research is driven by the need to find new forms and methods of library work capable of confirming their significance as information and socio-cultural centers in the context of the proliferation of artificial intelligence technologies. The aim of this work is to develop principles and practical recommendations for the use of artificial intelligence technologies to improve the efficiency of the organization and carrying out of library clubs. The article presents the analysis of existing methodological approaches to the organization of library clubs, generalizes the principles of their functioning, and develops author’s recommendations for the application of artificial intelligence for library club organization. As an example the experience of using artificial intelligence at the Scientific Library of the Belarusian National Technical University (BNTU) in organizing the music club "Faun’s Labyrinth" is given. The main result of the research is the practically oriented set of recommendations covering the key aspects of library club activities, from planning and organization to carrying on club meetings and effectiveness evaluation. The practical significance of the research lies in providing library staff with tools to modernize club work, enhance its interactivity, and increase user appeal through the introduction of innovative work technologies.
