Abstract
This article discusses the issue of saving users' time in Libraries. Time is so crucial to individuals, organisations and even the Society. Libraries are established to provide information to users. The bulk of information available in the library if not properly managed will cause users to get lost in the ocean of information explosion. Saving users' time is one o(the major objectives of any library. This researcher discussed strategies that libraries can put in place 'to save the time of library users, such as proper organisation of the materials through effective cataloguing and classification, accurate shelving and shelf reading, effective and efficient reference services, application of ICT in Libraries, User education programme etc. Based on these, it is recommended that libraries should as a matter of fact consider all these strategies in order to remain relevant in this present age.
