Abstract
Not much have been heard about the Republic of Kazakhstan when it comes to its people and tradition especially if you are residing in the South East Asian region. Just like other sovereign nations, Kazakhstan’s rich culture and history are preserved in its libraries, archives, and museums. As an economy in transition, this presentation hopes to inspire fellow librarians to advocate for social inclusion in their library programs. It will also provide a preview of ongoing innovative library projects within Kazakhstan. One of which is the goal of the government in developing smart people. Interconnectivity becomes a priority initiative of the country to build smart libraries and smart cities.
