The Federal Government, through the National Library of Nigeria, says efforts are being made to resuscitate the implementation of library hours in schools.
The government said this would enhance reading culture among Nigerians.
The National Librarian and Chief Executive Officer (CEO), National Library of Nigeria (NLN), Prof Chinwe Anunobi, disclosed this while giving stewardship of her two years in office.
The national librarian stated that a memo had been sent to the Federal Ministry of Education to consider the implementation of reading culture as a policy.
She said: “It is saddening to note that library hours are no longer implemented in many schools. To this end, efforts are being made to resuscitate the implementation of library hours in schools.”
Speaking further, she said that to strengthen the state-of-the-art national repository, digital equipment had been deployed to protect vulnerable resources in its Lagos strong room.
She said over 1,000 records, including monographs, journals, documents and other resources had been digitised.
