From inception the journey of public libraries in Africa has been very bumpy for reasons well documented in literature. Some of the key issues are discussed. The main thrust of this article is that public libraries as we know them today have failed the cause of the majority of Africans who are disadvantaged and marginalised. A radical shift to the general principles underpinning public library practice is proposed to give way to a recipe of an ‘African public library’: A model which is essentially based on relationship building and networking.

To understand the current state of libraries in Africa it is important to appreciate the broader ramifications of global machinations and, in particular, the impact of globalization on the African continent. Rather than concentrate on libraries per se the paper attempt to demonstrate how globalization has diminished prospects for human development in Africa. The paper expounds on inequalities that have emanated from the integration of world economies but focuses on how adoption of ICT has failed to make meaningful contributions to uplift the social and economic circumstances of the majority of the population in Africa. In the same light diffusion of ICT in libraries has only produced half measures, at best. In many instances it has been a flop.

Africa has abysmal penetration rate for landline telephone, the number of fixed-broadband subscriptions Internet has increased the digital divide.... Africa is slow to take up technological innovation as most have to be imported from elsewhere..” Liam (2009) Unpublished Presentation Thu, 01 Oct 2015 00:00:00 GMT http://hdl.handle.net/11462/700 2015-10-01T00:00:00Z
