The main purpose of public libraries is to provide books, and they should not waste their limited resources and space on providing expensive hi-tech media such as computer software, videos and DVDs. To what extent do you agree or disagree with this statement?

Nowadays, the libraries expanded their catalogue of materials to cover different requirements from lectors and students, offering now technology and multimedia CDs as well as books. Some people believe that

this

institution should not spend valuable space and money on these technological stuff. In my opinion, I believe that the

library

must provide materials as DVDs and computers, because is an incredible way to modernize and innovate

this

public space.

First

of all, the

library

do not just has to offer books on paper, in the modern society, humans are connected to the internet and technological advances during a huge amount of time. Buying these elements,

this

place will not waste money,

by contrast

, they will do an amazing inversion.

For example

, I love going to the central

library

near my house, and I prefer looking for information using computers

instead

of books. And a lot of students agree with me because

this

section is always crowded with people.

Secondly

, I understand that books have a magic that the technology cannot cover. Elderlies cannot adapt their thoughts to modern ways to learn and new devices, due to they get used to read paper books.

Thus

, these different materials can coexist in the same place. It means that it is not necessary to take off the books and replace them for computers.

For example

, my mother enjoys reading books and she cannot understand why others can study watching a screen. To sum up, everybody is different and the

library

and other public spaces can cover all of our requirements, making a balance between technological stuff and paper books.
