Therefore, it is now relevant and appropriate to study libraries political and communicative practices in this perspective. The modern library is an institution that accumulates the interests of virtually all segments of society. The gradual formation of the foundations of the rule of law, ensuring transparency of the activity of governmental structures at different levels, improvement of the legislative system, citizens’ demand for reliable information to ensure their informed political choice, development of the non-state sector of the economy create the possibility to realize long-term library initiatives and perspectives.
