Abstract: This paper provides the various ways that libraries assist in national development. These include the provision of educational, political, social, economic and health information. The barriers hindering these provisions such as illiteracy, lack of trained personnel, resources, poor distribution of libraries and financial constraints are mentioned. It is the view of the writer that libraries in Ghana can perform their roles effectively in national development if proper legislations and other provisions are put in place.
