Abstract
The study examines the provisions of library facilities in Oyo state secondary schools. The population of the study consists of secondary schools in five Local Governments, that is, Ogbomoso North, Ogbomoso South, Surulere, Oriire, and OgoOluwa Local Government areas of Oyo state while 45 secondary schools were taken as the study sample. Out of the 45 questionnaires that were administered, 75.6% (34) were returned and analyzed. Simple percentage scores were employed in analyzing the data. Analyses of the findings revealed that the provision of library facilities in secondary schools is abysmally low if not totally absent. The findings also revealed that only 2 schools have standard libraries with teacher librarians while 22 schools have improvised libraries. Some of these improvised libraries are just been monitored by library prefects. The remaining 10 schools have nothing to show for a library. Recommendations were therefore made to the Government, PTA, and all those concerned in the provision of secondary school education in Nigeria. All concerned should see a well-equipped school library as a priority by providing the necessary funding, supply and organization of materials.
