In determining the sample size, the researcher conveniently selected 41 respondents while 38 were received and 35 were validated. Self-constructed and validated questionnaire was used for data collection. The collected and validated questionnaires were analyzed using frequency tables and mean scores. The result of the findings reveals that the security challenges hindering effective service delivery in university libraries in Enugu include; book theft, book mutilation, keeping overdue books, using fake i.d card to borrow books, and mis-shelving of books. The findings also revealed that the types of security apparatus adopted by university libraries in Enugu for supporting service delivery comprises of close circuit television (CCTV), AV security, surveillance Cameras, radio frequency identification (RFID) system, panic alarms, perimeter alarm system, door intrusion alarms, and EM security Tags..
