Students today can easily access information online, so libraries are no longer necessary. Do you agree or disagree?

Today, concerns are high about how the digital age will change the libraries. Some argue that libraries soon will sink into oblivion, as nowadays

of why libraries are still of relevance in modern days. Students today are learning in conditions, which are not conducive to their education. At home, they are attacked

such

situations, libraries are no less than oases in the desert for the students. They are places where it is invariably quiet anytime they visit, where they have their work done effectively. Some hold the belief that libraries are no longer necessary in

view is flawed. What

Hence

, it is much better for students to gain wisdom from books than from materials circulating the Internet. These foregoing points have brought me to the conclusion that the importance of libraries should not be downplayed despite many advancements made in the technological era.
