ABSTRACT
It is very
clear that the library’, regardless ofthe type plays afundamental role in the
educational and societal development of any nation. The resources and services
offered by. these libraries create opportunitiesfor learning, support literacy
and education, and help shape the new ideas and perspectives that are central
to a creative and innovative society. Sad enough, most of these libraries in
the Nigerian soil are highly faced with great challenges, hence, the need to
device a pathway. This paper .critically looked at the state of the Nigerian
libraries in terms of its educational and societal requirements. However, before
delving into the pathwayfor the Nigerians libraries in the face ofprevailing
educational and societal requirements, some ofthe challenges faced by these
libraries were x-rayed. The paper concludes that much is expected ofthese
Nigerian libraries which have strived from the 1962 to the present 2022, and in
order to meet these numerous educational and societal requirements, there is
needfor a pathway, especially a joint role to be played by the librarians,
educators, and government. One of which is the issue of a national policy
andproperfunding ofthese libraries.
