         Аннотация. Статья посвящена исследованию работы национальных библиотек в  условиях пандемии нового коронавирусного инфекционного  заболевания  COVID-19. Описаны различные  способы и методы работы с пользователями, развитие инновационных сервисы, расширение репертуара информационных ресурсов / продуктов, принятые меры по безопасной работе сотрудников, в том числе в удалённом режиме. Приведены даты повторного закрытия ряда национальных библиотек мира и основные правила работы в них по состоянию на 15.11.2021 г., а также данные 2 опросов среди 55 национальных библиотек мира о том, как на них повлияла ситуация с COVID-19. Подчеркивается, что в период пандемии возобновление работы библиотек может оказаться временным и библиотекам необходимо быть готовыми к введению очередных ограничений их работы.
        Ключевые слова: национальные библиотеки, пандемия COVID-19, организация работы, дистанционная работа, обслуживание пользователей, политика библиотек в кризисных ситуациях.

     С начала 2020 г. в мире начала распространяться эпидемия нового коронавирусного инфекционного заболевания COVID-19, вызываемого недавно открытым типом коронавируса SARS-CoV-2. 11 марта 2020 г. Всемирная организация здравоохранения (ВОЗ) объявила, что вспышка коронавирусной инфекции переросла в пандемию. Масштабы и темпы распространения этой, современной нам пандемии, по мнению экспертов, выше, чем любой другой в истории человечества [1]. Пандемия коронавируса, вызвавшая социальные и экономические потрясения, затрагивающие семьи, народы и страны всего мира, внесла серьёзные коррективы в жизнь и проекты всего библиотечно-информационного пространства.
