This study adopted literature review to examine school library development and
the attainment of the Universal Basic Education objectives in Nigeria. Among the
findings is that for school libraries to attain their objectives there must be set
standards to serve as guidelines for management. Some of these guidelines are
contained in some important policy documents on education management at local
and international levels. Conclusively, it was recommended that government at
all levels as well as management of privately owned institutions of learning are
urged to invest substantial amount in the development of school libraries and
facilities nationwide.
