what is the importance of library?

A library can be considered a store – house of knowledge. In dictionaries the word “library” has
been defined as “a building or room containing a collection of books”. A library renders a great
service to the society. There are a large number of Public Libraries maintained by the local
authorities throughout the island.

A library plays a very important role in promoting the progress of knowledge. There are many people who love reading. But they can’t afford to buy books because the prices of books are very high. So when one becomes a member of a library, he can borrow valuable books. A member can borrow two books at a time and he can keep it with him for two weeks. Libraries are particularly useful for poor children. Even those who are better off can’t afford to buy all the books they require for their studies. For instance, invaluable books like Encyclopedias and large dictionaries cannot be purchased.

So when one becomes a member of a library, he can borrow valuable books and return them by their due date.  For me, I use library for doing research and schoolwork.

A library is a place where there are large number of books that are stored on several shelves. Some of the reasons why a library is important for students are it is a treasure-trove of knowledge, it is divided into a number of sections or departments on the basis of certain subjects to learn, and it provides the students a very healthy environment. Another important fact about the importance of libraries for students is that it helps students to keep very good concentration on their studies.

A library is useful to research students. A research scholar working on a difficult, obscure subject usually needs books that are very expensive and that are often not available in the market. Sometimes he may need to refer to original manuscripts not otherwise available. In all such cases he will find it very advantageous to visit the various libraries and collect his material.
