dc.description.abstract The study focuses on global research on the challenges faced by libraries during the COVID-19 pandemic time and the strategies and innovations used or suggested to overcome those challenges. Most of the libraries and educational institutions switched to the virtual setting and offered online services with the help of technology. The findings of a comprehensive literature review were reported here by the authors while comparing and stating their experience at the library of the Uva Wellassa University of Sri Lanka. Researchers found out that during the COVID-19 crisis, Libraries make maximum use of digital technologies to provide and expand services for patrons. They have also conducted programs for partons to develop their information literacy and especially digital literacy skills. Moreover, they impose suitable safety measures while providing physical library services. Libraries have so far succeeded in ensuring their service continuity during this unprecedented global crisis en_US
