Libraries constantly need to be aware of changes in their environment, such as public management and library management trends, the development of technology and changes to laws and other regulations, in order to meet the needs of their diverse stakeholders, most notably library users. The paper consists of a review of literature on the topic of public management, including new public management, stakeholder theory, digital transformation and organizational values, as well an overview of relevant legislation and statistical data on libraries, followed by a study of organisation values and digital transformation aspirations among central county public libraries in the Republic of Croatia. The quantitative party of the study was conduct as an analysis of missions and visions and similar statements of those libraries, available on their webpages, and the results were presented as tables and graphs, as well as analysed in a discussion. The qualitative part was based on the presentation of a selection of examples of library services, programmes and projects related to the organizational values or digital transformation aspirations. Research confirmed that libraries express organizational values and digital transformation aspirations in their mission and vision statements, while their activities illustrate compatibility with organizational values and digital transformation aspirations. The most prominent organizational values in Croatian central county public libraries were democratic values, followed by economic values, social values, digital transformation aspirations and legal values.
