Abstract: 
This study investigated sustainable practices of environmental management in the 
preservation of archives in public libraries in Rivers state. Two objectives and its corresponding 
research questions and hypotheses guided this study. The descriptive survey design was adopted 
for this study. The population of interest in this study was 514 library staff from the Rivers state 
library board and staff from the Jubilee library in Port Harcourt. The sample size of this study 
was 399 library staff, of which 227 were from the board of the Rivers state library and 172 were 
from the Port Harcourt branch of the Jubilee library. The sample size was calculated by Taro 
Yamane's formula, and a two-stage sampling method was employed to select the sample size. 
Stratified and simple random sampling were used in the process. A self-structured instrument 
titled sustainable practices of environmental management in the preservation of records 
questionnaire was employed for data collection. Face and content validation was ensured by 
three experts. The instrument yielded reliability coefficients of 0.81 with the use of Cronbach 
Alpha reliability method. Mean and Standard Deviation were used in answering research 
questions while z-test was used for the inferential statistics. The findings revealed that 
Sustainable practices for environmental management in public libraries in Rivers state include 
using acid-free folders, having large sculptures shielded from elements, and having the archives 
environment protected from flooding. Microforms are not used to shield delicate unpublished 
documents and artworks are not stored in enclosures made of acrylic plexiglass. It was concluded 
and recommended that archivists in the libraries should e supported by the government to 
employ sustainable practices such as microforms, acrylic plexiglass, ultraviolet filtering 
windows and low-velocity vacuum systems to protect both unpublished and published materials 
from degradation.
