In the era of information explosion, one side the information becomes very costly and other side, the growing demands of the patrons and the declining levels of finance makes very crucial situation to the libraries. Understanding this universal concept, it is very essential to think of networking of the libraries in Eritrea.A library network is broadly described as a group of libraries coming together with some agreement of understanding to help each other with a view to satisfying the information needs of their clientele.
