Abstract
National integration is a unity of purpose in diversity that tends to paint a picture of a society
that portrays the feeling of oneness and togetherness as one nation, that, despite the citizens
differences in term of race, religion, culture, creed and cast, yet their co-existence is devoid of
any form of political sentiment. National integration for national development is not realizable
without the provision of access to right and adequate information. As it is a common practice for
Library to provide access to information and also make available, an avenue for individuals to
subjectively investigate matters that bothered on national integration, hence, the need for
libraries of all types to re-position their services toward that, which encourage national
integration, and subsequently foster national development. In doing this, libraries are
encountered with some challenges such as insufficient funding; poor infrastructural facilities
among others, and to overcome these challenges libraries need the support of an individual,
organization and government through adequate funding and provision of information
infrastructure and other facilities.
