Less than fifty percent among respondents visited the library more than 5 times a month. It was found out that respondent utilization of library services does not vary when classified according to age, gender and library user group. The respondents perceived quality service does not vary when classified according gender but respondents perceived quality of library services vary when classified according to age and library user group. Moreover, No significant relationship was found between the respondents’ utilization of library services and their profile characteristics when classified according to age, gender and library user group. No significant relationship was found between the respondents perceived quality service when classified according to gender but significant when classified according to age and library user group.
