Abstract

Since attaining independence in 1966, Botswana has made vast strides in its development. However, its library services, especially to education, have not kept pace with this general development. Some factors hindering the development of school library services include lack of qualified staff, low funding levels, and divided administrative responsibility for libraries. There is reason for optimism, however, in the support for libraries and for resource-based learning in the 1994 Revised National Policy on Education and in the activism of the Botswana Library Association and of the Inter-Ministerial Committee on Library Services to Education.
