Disasters in libraries usually occur suddenly without any warning signs. Hence, the need to prepare ahead of time. Disaster preparedness entails carefully planning, it involves getting ready by putting the necessary measures in place so that in the event of a sudden occurrence of disaster the library would know what to do. The finding of a research conducted by Marfo and Borteye 6 (2016) on disaster preparedness in Kwame Nkrumah University of Technology Kumasi, Ghana revealed that the Library was not very prepared to prevent, fight or manage disasters. In the same vein, the finding of a research carried out by Owolabi, Lawal, Olukepde, Palemo and Odenigbo (2014) on disaster awareness and preparedness in Nigeria Polytechnic Libraries using 140 respondents revealed that majority of the staff were also not prepared for disaster.
