In February 2022, Russia launched an attack on Ukraine, leading to Polish academic libraries offering aid to Ukrainian refugees. A study was conducted to examine the efforts of Polish academic libraries in building social resilience during times of conflict. The study employed both quantitative and qualitative approaches, including surveys distributed to library directors. The results underscored the significant role of libraries as trusted institutions that address the ongoing needs of local communities.
