Abstract
Book losses in academic library constitute a serious problem. Library security in developing countries as it affects books has been placed on the library porters and the yearly number of book losses determines the efficiency of the porters. Unfortunately, there are no training programmes for these porters nor any reference manual on what to do during emergencies. The importance of training is therefore emphasised in the paper. Neglected factors affecting library security such as reference handbook on emergencies, availability of materials for work, repairs and house keeping are discussed. Finally, Librarians are encouraged to evolve ways of solving individual security problems.
