Abstract

Libraries, an organized collection of books and non-book materials, are always situated in communities to ensure that the inhabitants' information needs are promptly and adequately met. However, the level of library involvement in these communities is quite low or nonexistent in other places. It is therefore necessary for libraries to begin reaching out to these communities through creative and innovative programs that will involve the participation of community members and create awareness as they impress themselves and their worth on the community.
