This study examines how national libraries across the ten ASEAN member states document and communicate engagement with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) through 55 Country Reports and Annual Reports covering 2015–2024. Using qualitative thematic documentary analysis, it identifies institutional priorities and practices and relates them to SDGs and four sustainability pillars. Six substantive themes emerged, while Strategic Collaboration and Policy Alignment operated as a cross-cutting mechanism and environmental sustainability remained comparatively limited. Social sustainability and cultural vibrancy were more visible than environmental sustainability and economic stability. The study distinguishes documented activity, institutional framing, SDG alignment, and demonstrated outcome.
