Public libraries should only provide books and should not waste their limited resources on expensive high-tech media such as software, videos or DVDs. Do you agree or disagree?

A

library

of huge collection of books and it could become a tedious task to maintain it by humans and the probability of human error is prominent. The main purpose of the libraries is to provide

information

through books and references. I completely agree with the statement that a

library

should provide computer software, video and DVDs.

Firstly

,

although

we have reached the phase where each and every person has access to the internet.

However

, there are many people who are unfortunate and do not have access to the internet.

Secondly

, if

such

information

centre has a computer software

then

it become easier to find a book using these softwares and minimize the time of manual search.

Thirdly

, all the physical books might not be available in the

library

. So, if a librarian would have access to the online

library

which could provide a soft copy of the rare and required book

then

it becomes accessible to the users.

This

would attract a large number of members reason being the availability of numerous types of books from around the world. Fourthly, users will not only get the

information

from books, but

also

can make use of videos along with current data from the internet by sitting in one place.

Lastly

, Due to availability of programs the searching and monitoring of book issuing will become easier.

However

, there are cons as well in providing hi-tech system. There can be some people who could misuse the facility, but with proper monitoring and maintenance of data the

library

could be made the one place to find all the references and

information

. To conclude, in my opinion I completely agree with the idea of equipping a

library

with books as well as hi-tech software and computer for the betterment of the current and future visitors.
