Artificial Intelligence (AI) can be employed extensively in the housekeeping operations of public libraries to improve efficiency, accuracy, resource management, and user services. Library housekeeping refers to the routine technical and administrative activities involved in the acquisition, processing, organization, maintenance, circulation, and preservation of library resources. In a modern public library system, AI can support staff in performing these operations more quickly and effectively. In acquisition, AI can assist librarians in selecting books and other information resources according to community needs. By analysing circulation statistics, user preferences, borrowing patterns, reviews, and collection gaps, AI systems can recommend suitable titles for purchase. AI can also help identify duplicate resources, predict demand for particular subjects, and support automated vendor and order management. This can make collection development more economical and responsive to the needs of public library users. AI can be applied to cataloguing and classification, which are important housekeeping activities. AI-based systems can extract bibliographic information from digital documents, generate catalogue records, identify authors and subjects, and suggest appropriate classification numbers and subject headings. Natural Language Processing (NLP) can be used to analyse the content of books and documents and automatically generate keywords and abstracts. Such applications reduce repetitive work and help maintain consistency
