The rapid expansion of digital learning has exposed significant challenges related to internet connectivity and personalized educational support, particularly in underserved regions. This paper explores a hybrid approach that integrates offline internet technologies with artificial intelligence (AI) within academic libraries to bridge digital divides and enhance learning outcomes. While AIdriven tools enable adaptive, learner-centered experiences, offline internet systems provide uninterrupted access to curated educational resources without the need for continuous connectivity. Through a comprehensive literature review and policy analysis, the study highlights the benefits, challenges, and practical implications of adopting this hybrid model in academic environments. Findings suggest that strategic investments in infrastructure, ethical AI use, and educator training are essential for effective implementation. This hybrid approach positions academic libraries as vital hubs for inclusive and resilient digital learning, offering a scalable solution aligned with global educational goals.
