Abstract
Millions of Nigerians are increasingly yearning and
aspiring to acquire knowledge in one form or the other
irrespective of age, sex, and background. The increasing
need for literacy and leisure time plus "Imformation
expulsion" makes it necessary to develop libraries in
the country. Secondly libraries are by themselves a
principal agency for educational development and spread.
It is for these reasons that the author decides to
explore a scheme that would comfortabily cater for the
three basic elements in library services namely the
readers, the staff and the library materials.
Design considerations are centred around comfort
needs of the readers within the prevailing climatic
conditions of the site. The comfort relates to the
provision of favourable indoor climatic conditions
in relation to human needs (Egronomics), and the
smooth or efficient circulation of both the materials,
staff and the Users.
The scheme when completed would serve not only
as a learning, research or reference centre but would
also serve as a recreational or leisure centre with alot of social attracting potentials, It will be a
piece of monument in terms of aesthetics, functions,
preservation and security of important academic and
societal or historical documents.
When fully utilized it is hoped that the scheme
would not only assist students or academicians but
would greatly raise the literacy level of the society
by taking or communication the knowledge or imformation
to the grass-route.
