Abstract
The paper attempted to capture a bird’s eye view of what constitutes serving exceptional students or special learners in our Nigerian school library media centres. It identified the categories of exceptional students who are equally referred to as embodiments of less privileged students, though they are special learners but are exceptionally gifted with learning disabilities. The paper while highlighting the features of the exceptional students also highlighted the challenges before the school library media centres, in serving the exceptional students and curriculum planners, organizers, the implication of the government, organization, parents. The paper posits that if the questions raised in serving exceptional students are consciously adhered to therein, otherwise, the school library media centres cannot be said to be serving these group of people. However, educational development is sine qua non for all round development of a nation. Hence, no nation can afford to neglect the educational development of the less favoured, physically challenged and or exceptional students.
Keywords: exceptional students, Nigerian school library media, curriculum planners, educational development
