What is it about?
The study revealed critical library infrastructure that must not be played with to avoid turnover intentions of librarians. Such infrastructure include but not limited to air conditioners, tables, Internet facilities, library building, power supply, fire extinguishers/smoke detector and fire alarm. These infrastructure are relevant for the achievement of the overall goal of the library and the development of its workforce.

Why is it important?
The result revealed that library infrastructure is a predictor of turnover intentions of librarians (r = 0.647, p < 0.05) which indicates that an improvement in library infrastructure will reduce turnover intentions of librarians. The result showed that inadequate/unavailability of library infrastructure increase turnover intentions of academic librarians. It means that the higher the level of infrastructural deterioration in academic libraries, the higher the level of turnover intentions of academic librarians.
Perspectives
It was quite interesting writing with most of my colleagues from different academic libraries across Nigeria. It gives me the opportunity to critically look into those library infrastructure that increase turnover intentions in libraries and especially those selected in this study.
