| Description | This chapter explores the integration of immersive virtual reality (iVR) into libraryservices, mainly focusing on its role in education and collaborative learning. Thechapter examines how libraries, especially in the Czech Republic, are evolving to in-clude VR technologies, thereby enhancing learning and offering new interactive ex-periences. Two English VR lessons were conducted to evaluate current possibilitiesand challenges in implementing VR in libraries. The study identified vital aspectssuch as librarian competencies, the evolution of librarian roles, educational com-petencies required for VR, librarians’ attitudes towards technology, and the readi-ness of institutions to introduce VR services. It concludes that while there are chal-lenges in implementing iVR in libraries, such as technical and financial constraintsand space limitations, there are also significant opportunities. iVR can transformlibraries into dynamic learning hubs, fostering creativity, teamwork, and user en-gagement, especially among younger generations |
