Abstract
A record of efforts of setting up a national library forms part of the general information on the development of libraries in any country. The Ford Foundation, the Nigerian Library Association, and the 1959 library advisory committee of the West African Library Association, Nigeria’s pre-independence federal parliament and government made varying contributions to the establishment of the National Library of Nigeria. Three decades after the establishment of the Library, its operations, personnel, working facilities, status as government parastatal, annual budget allocation, management patterns, and statutory instruments have improved or changed. Whereas the cardinal objective for establishing the library remains dynamic in view of the influence of new media technologies or modern library services, this study captures the emerging historical trends, examines salient problems of the Library, and projects into its future.
