Summary/Abstract: Some of the virtual programs of the Belgrade City Library, implemented in the period from March 2020 to May 2021, are presented. The way and methodology of their organization and implementation are described and the advantages of the digital presentation of culture are presented. COVID-19 required all established models of library work to be changed immediately and to adopt new ones, adapted to the circumstances required by the epidemiological situation. The situation required avoiding physical contact and keeping distance as one of the main preventive measures to combat the spread of the virus. As the library has always been a place for gatherings and meetings where cultural, educational and artistic exchanges take place, the organization of cultural events is part of the work and was particularly affected. Despite the difficulties and challenges, the solution was found very quickly and was reflected in the transfer of all cultural programs in cyberspace. The Internet and social networks have become platforms through which public contact was established through interesting cultural content.
