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?

The technological

changes these days very rapidly. With the advancements and innovations of the technology, libraries now can offer their readers with various computer media,

such

as DVDs and CDs. While some people argue that libraries should provide only printed materials, others believe that new technologies should be used to facilitate people’s learning experience, and I agree with the latter as opposed to the former.

Firstly

, the primary functions of a library are to serve the local community with learning resources and spaces, so that people should be able to use the facility to learn something new. High-technique media certainly can fit in well for

this

purpose.

Finally

, people would not mind paying small fees for daily renting those computer media would help to meet the expense of money spent on buying those DVD, CDs.

Therefore

, no resource-draining in community libraries. Admittedly, library books are the primary forms of material for local readers; they are unlikely to be replaced;

however

, I still believe that high-tech computer media will add additional information and interests to readers. In conclusion, the increasing investment in educational technology has brought up a lot of opportunities for students.

Hence

, public libraries should not be an exception of

such

trend, and high-tech media should be used to keep knowledge available for library users.
