Abstract

Education is the result of acquired knowledge and the cumulation of observations and experiences, while a library is the fountain and source, the protector and storehouse of that knowledge and experience. Education cannot exist alone without the library, and library has no meaning if it cannot impart education. In educating the mind, there is need for information resources. The resources meant for education are the one systematically organized in the library and these resources cannot educate if the information officers or librarians has not impacted the necessary skills of information organization and dissemination on the resources. Thus, library and education are twin sisters. Library services involve the totality of assistance provided by the library for its users. These services, to a large extent determine the well-being of the library user, educationally, emotionally and otherwise. The library service could be direct or indirect as well as personal or group, consequently, based on the great importance attributed to library services.
