The article includes explanations of the project life cycle and the corresponding stages of the project. The basic processes of project management are explained, starting from their planning and execution to supervision and closing. In addition to the listed contents, the topics related to the scope of the project and time management of the project, as well as the costs, resources and human potential of the project, are also covered to an appropriate extent. The results of this research indicate a significant number of different types of projects organized in Croatian libraries and present their role and high success in terms of start-up, execution and completion. The limitations of this study stem from the fact that the research on project management was conducted in public libraries of the Republic of Croatia. Practical implications. With its content and research results, the research can contribute to a better understanding of the possibilities and benefits of launching and implementing projects in libraries and related institutions and organizations.

Given the role of the library as an institution of special social interest, the efficient and successful project management in libraries has a corresponding broader social significance and potential impact in various fields, such as education, science, information, culture, economy and the use of leisure time. Originality and value of this paper is also demonstrated in the extensive presentation of theoretical knowledge about project management and the possibilities of their application in the organizational environment of library business.
