Libraries digitizing has changed the academic world and created free knowledge everywhere. Nevertheless, traditional digital libraries have engagement, interactivity, and accessibility restrictions. VR and AR technologies are about to tackle this issue, delivering an immersive and engaging experience to users. Drawing upon literature from many sources, this paper looks at the potential for AR and VR to bring about positive change to the space of the academic library, outlining implementations and applications as well as ways to measure impacts. It summarises of comparative studies of AR/VR improved libraries and conventional systems, list down case studies of real-world implementation, and also discusses the challenges and solutions put forth to them. This becomes a discussion that lays a path for world adoption, a path seen globally that details how the library will be relevant and grow and become a womb of innovative creation and collaboration.
