still prevalent in Nigeria, the focus of this paper is the on going
transformation process by which the school library in Nigeria is developing to

century, the average school library in Nigeria had not developed beyond the
status of a bookstore, used intermittently as a reading room by pupils anti
students of primary and secondary schools. The contention however is that there
is growing, a movement toward the new concept of the school library as an
integrated learning center containingfaci/itiesfor individual as well as group
learning, using all the modern communication media. The paper ascertains the
factors that have brought about this change. These are: - changes in
educational approach, curricular and technology as well as sociological and
cultural changes. It also highlights the facets of the school library that have
been directly and positively affected by this change.
