  The emergence of smart cities as a specific concept is not very old. In
simple terms, it refers to cities which are sustainable and driven
predominantly by their Information and Communication Technology (ICT)
infrastructure. Smart libraries and smart knowledge managers, alongside its
other smart component-entities, are vital for their emergence, sustenance and
progress. The paper attempts at deducing a symbiosis amongst smart cities,
smart libraries and smart knowledge managers. It further elaborates on how
these will usher in the neo-knowledge society, and the opportunities it'll
offer vis-\`a-vis Library and Information Science (LIS). Finally, it concludes
on an optimistic note, mentioning possible future research activities in this
regard.
