Polytechnic libraries are established with the primary goal of providing information resources to students, members of staff of the polytechnic community and other intended users. Apart from the information materials, personal assistance is offered to library users to ensure optimal use of the library. There are 29 Federal Polytechnic Libraries in 29 Federal Polytechnics in Nigeria,[7] 48 State owned polytechnic libraries[8] and 57 privately owned polytechnic libraries in Nigeria.[9]
