Random sampling technique was used to select 116 schools as samples for the study out of 577 public schools in the four Local Government Areas. Questionnaire was used to collect data.

Examining the types of materials in the libraries, textbooks ranked highest with 16 (13.79%) libraries while no library had films strips and slides. As for the highest qualification of the librarians, most libraries were managed by primary school leavers (cleaners) while some libraries had nobody directly managing them. However, two schools had Diploma in Library Science holder and one school had a degree holder managing the library. The schools had very poor ways of funding their libraries. The writer recommends that primary schools need to have libraries because that is where the foundation for the use of library later in life is laid. The writer further recommends that Local Government Education Authorities as well as the schools and the old pupils associations of schools should team up to provide libraries in primary schools. In the interim, teachers who took the use of libraries course at N.C.E level should attempt introducing children to the use of library using the class library and other areas which the paper refers to as "Thinking Outside the Box.en_US
