Based on the analysis of the development of citizen science, its construction mode and the characteristics of libraries, this paper tries to explore the opportunities and challenges that citizen science brings to libraries. Results show that on one hand, libraries are still lack of the initiative to take part in citizen science, the experience of big data management and financial support; on the other hand, libraries can play an active role in supporting citizen science, including data management, the organization and training of participants, as well as project evaluation. Moreover, citizen science can promote innovations in the libraries' service mode and bring new opportunities for the development of libraries.
Key words： library; citizen science; infomal science education
