AB - The nature of professional continuing education for Librarians in Nigerian University Libraries is examined. The paper reveals that in spite of the opportunities available to members of the profession in the country, librarians cannot make the most of them as a result of lack of finance, obsolete equipment used for practicals, apathy towards further training by chief librarians, delays in remunerating beneficiaries and wrong societal perception of the library profession itself. It concludes that the prospect for professional continuing education for libraries in Nigerian university libraries is bright if the federal government continues to support the cause of librarianship in Nigeria and, only if, certain subjects that require education are expertly revisited.
