Abstract
This scheme on"Central Library Services" is aimed at satisfying
the thirsty souls of millions of Nigerians yearning and aspiring to
gain one type of knowledge or the other. For it is my believe that
"a man without knowledge may well be compared to one that is dead"
The role the library services can play in the overall development
of socio-economic emancipation of a society cannot be over-emphasised.
In fact, if properly utilized, library services are fundamental
forces in developing and maintaining a vital and prosperous society.
Simply put, they can be a source of knowledge which is the only
fountain both of the love and the principles of human liberty.
Consequently there are three principal aims of this scheme on
Central Library.
- One is to provide needed information, reference and research
services to community, various professional organisations and the
legislative body of the state.
- It is also to support and reinforce programmes of adult and
fundamental education and stimulate reading for relaxation in both
children, and adult alike.
The last but not the least is the provision of a standard
befitting and identifiable building for the general upgrading of
Akure.

For the scheme to be compiled and the aims achieved, a detailed
study of existing library services especially in Ondo State was
carried out and a thorough analysis of the physical development was
made with a view to evolving suitable location and design of the
library complex and the related projects which are of equal importance
to the people and the government.
Prom the studies and proposals, it became apparent that there
is an urgent need for the library services to be overhauled and given
its proper place in the social and educational development of the state.
Emphasis is laid on the central library complex in the studies,
analysis and proposals, but all functionally and interrelated facilities
like bookshop, 3nack bar and the National Library are taken care of
in the general planning of the scheme.
