The National Library of Nigeria (NLN) on Monday said it will unveil its five-year strategic plan for 2025-2030 as well as a new logo, at its 60th anniversary event scheduled for this week.
The National Librarian, Prof. Chinwe Anunobi, said this at a briefing to announce the 60th year celebration of the NLN.
Anunobi said: “A glance at the logo and the document will provide a better explanation for the theme of our celebration: ‘The Future of Libraries in a Digital Age: Preserving Heritage, Expanding Access and Engaging Youth’.
“It is also a pointer that going forward the NLN must design education, research and cultural development programmes that will not only attract the youths but transform them as very important and valuable asset of this nation,” she said.

She said by way of elaboration, “We will not be found wanting in the global information concerns including open access and knowledge sharing, enhancing discoverability and user engagement, building a smart library infrastructure, competence transformation and capacity building, strengthening collaborative networks, while we envision a sustainable future.”
Prof. Anunobi said over the past six decades, the national library has evolved in its foundational vision as a dynamic repository of Nigeria’s knowledge and cultural heritage, offering a sturdy backbone for education, literacy, research and intellectual heritage preservation.
“The journey has been both challenging and rewarding, one that is marked by the unwavering commitment to preserving the nation’s knowledge storehouse, fostering reading and literacy, and serving as a platform for access to knowledge for Nigerians from all walks of life for personal and national development.”
