Libraries are major sources of information, it is very important especially in under developed countries where they are most needed. It is a major factor of self development and knowledge building. The libraries offer information from various aspects of life to the end users.
We have public libraries established by the government so that the masses can have access to all kind of information. These libraries can be categorised into the National, state and public libraries.
Knowledge is power and the agency for promoting its disseminations are libraries, they are key elements in effecting social change worthy of transforming a society from rural to urban.The information from libraries are needed by administrators to enable them take decisions in their various organisations. The need for libraries are endless so therefore if any nation has to combat illiteracy and ignorance, libraries should be a very important tool.
A lot of emphasis should be placed on the need for libraries especially among youths in Africa. Nigeria is a country that still has a lot of work to do in terms of education.If the need for libraries are well emphasised in Nigeria it can go a long way in developing the youths. There is alot of information they can lay their hands on which can change their lives for good.These days a lot of them go into activities that bring about social unrest i.e. cultism,armed robbery e.t.c. when there are various fields they can read about and harness. The library is one place where they can find information that can turn their lives around.
