[Purpose/Significance] With the rapid development of information technology, especially advancements in artificial intelligence, agents have become key factors in promoting the transformation of libraries toward intelligence. Exploring the application of agents in the library field can not only improve the quality and efficiency of library services but also enhance the influence of library in social and cultural fields, and meet the diverse and personalized needs of contemporary readers. [Method/Process] This paper examined the development of agent applications in libraries, focusing on the concept, characteristics, capabilities, and applications of agents. It explored how to build a complete smart library system framework based on agents, and proposed a transformation path for smart libraries based on agents, including the upgrading of hardware infrastructure, the development of intelligent software system, the construction of library agents, and the innovation of service models, especially on the specific application scenarios of the agent in the library field. Finally, it discussed the future development of agents in smart libraries. [Result/Conclusion] The research shows that building library agents with self-learning capability can improve existing service models, open up new service fields, and promote the continuous development of library intelligence.
