The findings of the study confirm the possibility of utilizing the applications of the internet of things in libraries. The internet of things can participate in improving performance, predicting problems and identifying the users’ orientations. More new services can be established through the applications of the internet of things. There is a need to change and improve the skills of the staff working in libraries, and the necessity to provide financial support to utilize the internet of things in libraries.
