Instead students are now commonly found of being adapted to the use of electronic social media. Since students are now commonly fond of using social media resources such as Facebook, Twitter, E-mail, etc. It then becomes imperative to see the possibilities of adapting these media to library practice.The study uses method of critical analysis to access the availability and extent of use of traditional library over e-library in schools.
