Historically, in India, lifelong learning has been an integral part of education, especially during the Buddhist period, with ancient centres like Vikramashila, Takshashila, and Nalanda attracting learners around the world. However, the British education system adopted in India has shifted the focus towards earning degrees and certificates primarily for job qualification. True learning, especially of any subjects and languages including astronomy, astrology, logic and philosophy is a continuous process driven by a thirst for knowledge. Modern libraries are equipped to support lifelong learning, providing access to a vast array of resources including books, dictionaries, encyclopedias, manuscripts, journals, and digital resources like ebooks, online journals, research papers, and unpublished materials. In addition to the platforms such as Inflibnet, Shodhganga, Shodhagangothri, Shodh Prabha, and IGNOU e-content, the role of librarians and assistant librarians is crucial. These professionals should maintain wide and strong networks with intellectuals globally, including those in universities, research centres and individual experts. They assist knowledge seekers by understanding their needs and providing apt resources, including online support. This study employs descriptive and exploratory methods utilising secondary sources to analyse how library resources can be optimally used for lifelong learning. The research findings suggest that libraries play a vital role in facilitating continuous education, lifelong learning and intellectual growth worldwide.
