This no 7. should be designated a relic! When was the last time you drove past there? Last time i passed there, the whole buiding was soaked in heavy brown dust! And i can bet the latest book there will likely be those published in the 60s!
These government jobbers doesn't understand that well stocked and developed libraries can keep youths engaged in creative thinking, and free from crime activities.
I have actually thought of building Private libraries and i'm following through with that peoject.

I only go there when I need to get new babes. Aside that, I use the National library along NTA road, it's more serene and nice

TeskyMan:

[b]I agree with you. "Corcernman" got it totally wrong. Before you can be allowed access into National Laibrary Herbert M, Alagomeji, Yaba, Lagos, you've got to tender a valid ID Card(most especially something to identify you as a student of any tertiary institution). I remember in my uni. days, that library was of immeasurable help to me. My daily routine was like Lecture room(Unilag) - National Library - My house, on daily basis. This was about 12 - 13 years ago. Up till tomorrow, my niece still use the same library for GCE & WAEC but you've got to have ID Card before you can go in. The issue with books in the library in both 1st and 2nd Floor is, they are obsolete. Nonetheless, if you do a thorough searching you'll still find some of them useful. Its just a pity that "most' students of nowadays hardly use the library they prefer "facebooking".

There is a small library in the Psychiatric Hospital at Yaba Bus stop, Lagos. Psychiatric Hospital main entrance gate is directly opposite the BRT Corridor main bus-stop, Yaba. The Library is also very very quiet but few books and limited space. Not to compare with the National library at Alagomeji at all. I can tell you affirmatively that all the books there are obsolete. Go there with your books, laptops etc, you only need to register with =N=200 per Annum, get it right I said =N=200 for the whole year. It's really cool to read in that library I must confess. Another advantage this small library has is that, they operate from 8a.m. to 8p.m., yes 8 p.m. In my ACCA days, that used to be my favorite library.

Hope this helps someone...[/b]

OmichaelO:
I do visit the one in front on my apt at Herbert macualy Road. The mainland Library is partially in ruins. while the other one almost Opposite DSTV OFFICE is quite okay and conducive to read in.


EDIT: it's free,Atleast since I've been going.just show your student ID and sign in

Processor01:


Since what year if I may ask? Passed by the library you mentioned, opposite DSTv, but it was under chain and keys and looked deserted.

@Ndidibabe...today, I used the library mentioned by Teskyman at the Yaba Psychiatric Hospital. Did I just say library? It is actually a small hall upstairs with a few chairs but if you don't mind the noise being made by constant vehicular movements, then this place could be ideal for a 'solo' study.

I might have to revert to Unilag.

ndidibabe:
So a non Unilag Student can read inside d school? Is that possible? If so, where?

Processor01:


Yes, except for the Student library, you can read anywhere in the school. My usual spots are that Engineering area (Dubbing center) and some corner at Sciences.

iffydave:

Please do you know if they charge for the library and how much??

Tolakay:
thanks Ayo. What is the cost implication and is the library opened 24 7?

Ayoolla:


The cost implication i just #500 per month with a minimum of three month payment(#1500). Its not a 24/7 facility but they open from Mondays to Fridays-even saturdays from 8- 5pm. But One thing is that they have constant electricity. That's even where I'm typing from. Cheers
