An Evaluation of State Universal Basic Education Board (SUBEB) Libraries in Selected States in South-West Nigeria (Report‪)‬

Introduction The library serves as the nerve centre of all educational institutions and a crucial factor in the educational development of men at all levels especially in educational institutions. It is associated with all forms of education; formal, informal and non-formal. It consists of a collection of a collection of books and other materials maintained and managed for reading, consultation, study and research and organized to provide access to users, with a well-trained staff to provide services to meet the needs of its users. The library, which is the hub of any educational set up, provides information and idea that are fundamental to functioning successfully in the increasingly information and knowledge-based society. The library is, therefore, able to equip pupils and students' imagination, thereby enabling them to live as responsible citizens (IFLA/UNESCO, 2002).
