dc.description.abstractThe research investigated the impact of extension services and information utilization in the Akwa Ibom State Public Library. A descriptive survey research design was used. Three research questions guided the study. Literature was reviewed. The study population was 85 users of the public library. For the fact that the study population is small, the researchers adopted a census or total enumeration technique that enabled the adoption of the entire population as a sample of the study. The instrument used was a questionnaire titled "Examining Extension Services and Information Utilization Questionnaire" (EESIUQ). A four-point modified Likert rating scale, known as a checklist, was adopted, and the data collected was computed using Mean and Standard deviation to answer the research questions. The findings reveal that extension services influence information utilization. Additionally, the outreach programme has a significant influence on information utilisation, as community partnerships substantially enhance information access in public libraries, particularly through collaborations with other libraries. It was concluded that library management should focus on creating and implementing targeted digital inclusion literacy programs in public libraries to meet community demands and enhance information utilisation. It was recommended that the government should prioritize the development and implementation of targeted digital inclusion literacy programmes to address the specific needs of the community and enhance effective information utilization in the Akwa Ibom State Public Library.
