The research method used in this study is a systematic literature review. Data sources were obtained from searching articles in research journal databases and searching the internet. The main database used was Google Scholar for the last 10 years, from 2015 to 2025. The results of the study indicate that integrating the framework of Cultural Intelligence and local wisdom into library management has proven to be a strategic and relevant approach, despite being relatively new. This integration has had a positive impact, such as increased participation, access and relevance of library services for diverse communities. Local wisdom plays an important role in strengthening cultural identity and making services more inclusive and empowering. This approach effectively links the function of libraries to SDG 4 (Quality Education), positioning libraries as agents of culture-based empowerment. To support this, an adaptive management model is required, with specific recommendations on the development of contextual cultural intelligence training, the documentation of best practices based on local wisdom, and the formulation of measurable performance indicators related to the SDGs
