This study examines the role of Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) in Green Library Management, specifically how RFID-enabled automation enhances service responsiveness and sustainability in higher education libraries. RFID technology streamlines traditional library functions which including library circulation service, inventory processes, and anti-theft security by enabling contactless multi-item tracking and self-service options. RFID technology has enabled libraries to establish robust security systems and maintain vigilant oversight by automating item monitoring and triggering alerts for unauthorized exits. These innovations markedly diminish paper ravage, ease staff workload, and curtail energy consumption, aligning closely with sustainable operational models. RFID-based automation reduces queuing and circulation time, improving patron satisfaction and operational efficiency. Intelligent tracking enables through RFID equipping libraries with actionable analytics for collection planning and space optimization, in turn advancing sustainability objectives. The paper presents a comprehensive RFID implementation framework for libraries, incorporating essential elements such as stakeholder engagement, cost–benefit evaluation, tag configuration, privacy protection measures and dedicated staff training.By integrating RFID technology into sustainable library practices, academic institutions can transform their libraries into responsive, eco-conscious hubs that enhance patrons experience while minimizing environmental impact.This study offers practical recommendations and a strategic guidance for academic libraries to integrate RFID technology into their sustainability initiatives and service enhancement programs.
