This study explores the role of green libraries in promoting eco-friendly reading spaces in Nigeria, emphasizing the importance of sustainable practices in library management. This study utilized a systematic review of the literature to examine both global green initiatives and Nigerian studies to identify the challenges and opportunities for implementing green libraries. Key obstacles, such as limited funding, inadequate infrastructure, and lack of awareness among Nigerian librarians and policymakers, are discussed. The paper highlights the findings of several Nigerian-based studies, which reveal that while awareness of green libraries is growing, adoption remains slow due to insufficient resources and preparation. Recommendations for improving the adoption of green libraries in Nigeria include increased funding, capacity-building initiatives, renewable energy integration, and strategic awareness campaigns. The findings indicate the critical role of libraries in promoting sustainability, environmental literacy, and community well-being.
