The purpose of this paper was to examine the educational and informational needs of public library users in Nigeria.
The data was obtained from the answers to an enquiry fOrm handed to persons entering the library during a typical six days operations in seven public libraries in Nigeria.
It was discovered that a large number of users, used the library as 'study hall' (69.1 per cent) and seek library materials for their school work (72.3 per cent).
It is recommended that public libraries should gear their collections to the needs of the people. Focused collection rather than balanced collection is recommnended. Normal library functions should be expanded to include education, literacy and health care.
