Abstract: The aim of this paper is to examine the current state of digital inclusion activities in Lithuanian public libraries, to identify the major challenges that libraries face, and to forecast opportunities for digital inclusion growth. Theoretical conception of digital inclusion activities provided by public libraries is presented based on scientific literature findings. The empirical research findings - content analysis of public libraries textual and statistical activity reports - are also presented, revealing the situation of the implementation of digital inclusion activities in Lithuanian public libraries over the last five years and allowing to identify the main arising challenges and opportunities for digital inclusion increase.
