Main development vectors for the Russian National Public library for Science and Technology (RNPLS&T) celebrating its 60th anniversary are discussed. Today, RNPLS&T is the largest sci-tech library in the nation, and also a research institution, and a federal information center. The major projects within the framework of the federal target programs are described, e. g. national subscription, EKBSON (Electronic Catalog of Libraries in Education and Science), science archive, National Electronic Library, etc., that make the Library one of the leaders on the information support of science and education. Building the unified open archive system is an important challenge that RNPLS&T is facing today. The library’s education projects make an important part of its activities; it also plans to go on with its advanced professional training programs. The Library also serves a site for bringing together users and sci-tech professionals and creative community. RNPLS&T has accumulated vast experience in hosting various social activities (meetings, lectures, tournaments of the Chess Culture and Information Center, workshops, schools, fests organized by the Group for Ecology and Sustainable Development Projects; events hosted by Popular Science reading room, etc.)
