Abstract
Libraries and learning have been inseparable as far as civilization is concerned. Today, the modes of learning however, are dynamic in ways that are not very familiar to us all. Developments in Information communication technology (ICT), added to the Internet era, are transforming not only the ways in which libraries work, but also those primary philosophies of the library.This paper focuses on the mitigating threats to academic libraries, advocating for operational optimization for effective service delivery so that it can serve the 21st century user’s need. In doing this, primary data was used, buttressed by other secondary sources to reveal and proffer seeming viable solutions that the academic library should consider in other to keep themselves in tune with the needed, and at the same time, fulfill the aspiration of its users. It is expected that the opinion of the researchers will go a long way in helping libraries remain the ultimate temples of knowledge to prevent the looming laxity facing the importance of library services.
