The paper assessed the library collection, staffing, management and supervision, building space, seating capacity, acquisition, and processing of library materials of the Federal Science and Technical Colleges in Nigeria. Nineteen copies of a questionnaire were mailed to all the nineteen Federal Science and Technical Colleges in Nigeria. Only eleven of the Schools returned their questionnaires, which were used for the study. Result showed that the school libraries were adequately staffed. Their collections were above 2000 textbooks, the minimum standard. However, the library buildings were not only not well located, they also lacked adequate seating spaces. Also, there is no uniform policy on which classification scheme to use in processing the library materials. Suggestions that could enhance the development and growth of the school libraries were provided.
