Abstract :In the modern era, museums perform not only preservation and exhibition functions but also serve as centers of research, education, and cultural enlightenment. This study examines the role of books in museum activities from historical and contemporary perspectives. It explores the development of book collections in Azerbaijani museums and the preservation and display of rare and historical works. The research highlights the educational, scientific, and digital functions of books, comparing local practices with international experience. Current challenges such as conservation gaps, limited digitization, and insufficient educational initiatives are analyzed, and practical recommendations are proposed. Comparative analysis reveals that Azerbaijani museums can enhance accessibility and align their book-related activities with global standards. The study contributes to strengthening the scientific and methodological foundations of book activities in Azerbaijan’s museum system and supports their modernization within the framework of international cultural and educational practices.
