Conservation is an essential library activity which when well implemented has the capability of sustaining and promoting library activities for a very long time. However, preservation is often used interchangeably with conservation, besides, there is a subtle difference between the two. Preservation suggests that natural resources will be left undisturbed, while conservation usually indicates some resource management. Conservation includes proper diagnosis of the decayed materials, timely curative treatment and appropriate prevention from further decay. ‘Conservation’ depicts the activities which libraries use for the maintenance of library resources and facilities which could be material.
