The study also explores the online platforms of private libraries used to interact with children, parents, and caregivers with insight to identify their strengths, weaknesses, and improvement possibilities in these library websites. Findings show that though these library websites provide information and services like membership, catalogue access, and circulation, most library websites have a significant absence of electronic resources....
Keywords - library websites, library resources, library services, private libraries, children’s libraries.
