Assessment of School Library Service in a Local Government Area, Lagos State, Nigeria: A Case Study

Abstract

This paper assessed the library collection, staffing, building space, furniture and the profile of eight secondary schools in Oshodi/Isolo Local Government Area of Lagos State, Nigeria. The evaluation was based on the ;Lagos Library Board for Schools Libraries Standards;. The findings showed that school libraries were yet to achieve any meaningful growth in the educational system of Lagos State. The school libraries were completely undeveloped, under-staffed, under-used and improperly organised. Also the facilities were inadequate and the collections were obsolete. Suggestions on the revenue generation strategies in order to reduce over dependency on the state Ministry of Education for fund were made in the paper.
