 computers and mobiles have several advantages over public libraries, e-books cannot give satisfaction and cannot provide with reliable materials all the time.
Firstly
, during reading paper books, readers can undergo the lives and feelings of characters in a book. Books can bring the real, fulfilling and natural experience, the pleasure and contentment, which is hardly achievable through reading e-book.
In addition
 to these positives, readers can retain information longer as paper books allow to make notes and to highlight necessary parts of the text.

Finally
, in terms of veracity paper books have gained the trust of people. As books and magazines are published by professional publishing houses, reliability is guaranteed and being guided by false information is less likely than

therefore
, we should encourage funding in

 field.
