Public Relations In Nigerian Public Libraries: A Critical Assessment

Abstract

This paper critically assesses public relations in public libraries in Nigeria. A simple random sampling method was used to select 751 staff and 1161 users from 14 chosen public libraries. The result shows that about 60% of staff in public libraries were unaware of the importance of public relation in the delivery of effective services to the users. On evaluation, the author suggests remedies aimed at improving public relations in public libraries.
