This study aims to review literature on classical game theory applications in libraries and enable librarians to identify which games may be played in response to various decision-making situations especially in uncertain settings. Also this review paper provides approaches that are helpful for library cooperation. This study is mainly based on works of Hayes (2003), of various game theoretical concepts and applications of those in the library setting and explores the value of game theory concepts in helping libraries deal with management issues and library cooperation which is not widely practiced among libraries.
