 Many people think that libraries are essential for society. Others, however, disagree and say that it is more practical to access information on computers, while libraries are a waste of money and resources. Discuss both views and give your opinion.

Indubitably, libraries are the knowledge house where one can find any information. However, there are predominantly two contrasting views where a section of society vehemently deems that libraries are the backbone of a society, while others emphasize that it's a waste of funds as all the information can be accessed on computers.

Apparently, various factors make a section of people advocate that  atheneum holds substantial contribution to society and have reasons to substantiate it. First and foremost, not only libraries provide authentic knowledge to the consumer, but also brings community people closer to each other irrespective of age and gender. For example, the Indian habitat centre is home to  thousands of precious books as well as hosting cultural public events. Secondly, unlike the internet which only a small proportion of the population has access to, public libraries are free, or have a minute entry fee, and are accessible to anyone. Thus, libraries have paramount significance in society.

Nevertheless, some believe libraries are wasteful resources in the modern world for myriad reasons. Chiefly, if a library is constructed, lots of funds have been diverted for its maintenance  which the government could have distributed to poor sections of society who need it. Furthermore, despite the expenditure, the library cannot accommodate all the literature or books which a E- library can hold. Besides, the web allows us to access those books online at the comfort of our home.

In my profound opinion, although technology has a considerable contribution in transforming the way of studying literature or magazines online yet traditional way of learning from a physical book in a peacful environment have its own constructive benefits.
