The Need for Public Relations in Nigerian Libraries

Abstract

Library use in Nigeria has the potential to grow as “popularization” of reading moves into the peripheries of the society. The socio-historical factors related to library use in Nigeria explored in this paper are helpful in understanding the limited attention given to libraries by all but the elite of Nigerian society. Although an increase in library patronage has occurred in Nigeria, spurred on by the development of the popular press in the 1970s, a larger audience is still desirable. An informed and educated use of public relations can work to increase the popularization of using the library that has already begun.
