The present study examines the use of internet facilities by the users of the District Public Library, Kakinada, Andhra Pradesh. Public libraries play a significant role in providing access to information, promoting lifelong learning, and supporting educational, cultural, and socio-economic development. With the rapid growth of Information and Communication Technology (ICT), internet services have become an essential component of modern library services. The study aims to analyze the extent of internet usage, purposes of use, awareness of e-resources, and the problems faced by users while accessing internet facilities in the library.

The study is based on both doctrinal and empirical research methods. A structured questionnaire was distributed among 150 users of the District Public Library, Kakinada, including students, women, and general readers, out of which 120 valid responses were received and analyzed using Microsoft Excel. The findings reveal that a majority of users frequently utilize the internet facilities available in the library, mainly for preparation of competitive examinations, updating general knowledge, language learning, career development, educational support, and job searching. The study also identifies the availability of digital facilities such as computers with internet access, Wi-Fi, digital library sections, OPAC, and access to e-resources. The study highlights certain limitations, including inadequate power backup, lack of printing and scanning facilities, and the need for improved internet speed and digital literacy training.
