This paper provides a brief overview on Islamic libraries, its historical background, development and prospects. A literature survey is used to describe characteristics of Islamic libraries and identifying topics for gauging awareness on Islamic libraries requirements and strategy for its development. Selected topics and issues include perspective on the services and collections, organization and access, professionalization of Islamic librarianship, and impact of technology on Islamic libraries. What follow are ideas to embrace and promote Islamic libraries as a specialization by noting issues and problems faced by Islamic libraries, current challenges and direction for research.
