Abstract

This paper concentrates on the importance of libraries in student academic performance. Consideration is given to studies undertaken by other researchers. The aim of this paper is to examine by means of a systematic literature review the importance of libraries in the students’ academic performance. It focuses on school library policy, functional library, library collections, public libraries, and librarians, the aims of a functional library as well as the importance of the school library. The school library is a source center catering to learning and teaching materials of different formats, that is, print and non-print materials. The paper recommends that schools should be provided with school libraries, which are well equipped with library resources that are relevant and at the level of that school in the school premises that it is operating.
