Abstract

The dread of COVID 19 outbreak forced several nations and organizations to introduce lockdown, social distancing, use of nose mask, face mask, constant washing of hands, use of alcohol based hand sanitizers and so on as advised by the World Health Organization (WHO). The pandemic was a period of hardship; as most people lost their jobs and various organizations could no longer pay full salary. Stakeholders were advised to work from home via online platforms. Online teaching and learning become inevitable via zoom and social media channels. The library was not left out in this abrupt change as it has to move her services online since physical library were shut down. A structured interview design was the method of data collections and the result of data obtained was presented according to the research questions in a tabular form. Some of the challenges found were lack of funds for data subscriptions, network issues etc. The researchers recommended that Librarians must collaborate with co- professionals; government and its agencies; community leaders and NGOs and also give attention to acquiring digital literacy skills among others
