HISTORY OF
LIBRARIES IN NIGERIA
Like
the art of writing originated in the tropical and sub-tropical land of Africa and Asia.
It is
known that the art of writing was first started in what is now western Pakistan and in
the valley of River in dus approximately 7,00 years
ago. From there it was probably carried to Samaria and Egypt. It was in Samaria (modern Iraq) that the first libraries were
established.
A
library containing over 50,000 clay tablets existed in Suppara about six
thousand years ago. There were in this city at the time a temple dedicated to
sun - God and school facing the temple and there were libraries in each of the
building.
However,
in Nigeria,
during the Second World War reading rooms were setup all over the northern Nigeria to
serve as public information centres.
Finally,
in 1852, a Regional library was established in Kaduna as a Division of ministry of education
to help the Native authorities develop the reading rooms into public library
became a division of ministry of information.
IMPORTANCE OF
LIBRARIES
To
inform citizen: There is no gain doubting that democracy and libraries have a
symbolic relationship. Libraries make democracy work by providing access to
information so that citizen can make decision necessary to give themselves.
Also library, especially the public ones make knowledge and ideas available to
all irrespective of age, race, creed, sex and economic status. Break down
boundaries. Library got rid of the fence that obstruct our visions and
abilities of inter-communication, association and self education. Public
libraries provides free, family literacy programme for low literate, illiterate
and non-English-speaking people. However, in the value of individual, library
door are open for indepent thinking without pre judgment. Collection in libraries
gives access to historical, cultural and political facts that are necessary to
foster spirit of exploration.
Finally,
another important of library is that it preserve the past. Library keeps
records as ready reference for all humanity of the past.
PROBLEMS OF
LIBRARIES IN NIGERIA
Lack of
planning at the national level: The federal government has had on a number of
occasion expert advice on the setting up a national library at Lagos. Lack of backing from an energetic
viable professional body. Since its inauguration in 1962, the Nigeria Library
Association appears to have achieved very little professionals.
Lack of
suitable reading materials geared to the taste of people and commensurate with
their level of education state poverty which hinders library expansion.
Though
poor world standard, one is safe in saying that library provision in the
country at present is not good enough, other things remaining equal.
SOLUTION OF THE
PROBLEMS
Lack of planning as one of problem mibinlting
against Nigeria
library development: The federal
government should be able to establish national library headquarters in all the
state. Lack of backing from on energetic viable professional body as problem of
Nigeria
library development.
Government should employee qualified professional librarians that will carryout libraries routines
effectively and simultaneously and also motivate librarians to make other
people to have interest in the discipline of librarianship. However, problems
of institution of all different types of libraries should try as much as
possible to provide adequate fund which will be used in purchasing needed
reading materials in library which will make the library cliental to meet up
with their information need.
In
conclusion a modern is a social institution that anticipates the needs of its
users and makes adequate provision to wards their fulfillment in terms of
availability of materials and unreserved and unrestrained services. So, modern
library is a social institution whose goals is to maximize the social utility
of documents. It’s aim is to put the motto: “Books are for use” into practice.
