Libraries
 are a great source of knowledge.
However
, many
people
 are arguing about the importance of public
libraries
 in our society. Both of their arguments are valid, as, on one hand,some
people
 say
libraries
 are an important resource and should be free and
on the other hand
people
 consider them as wastage of public money.
Libraries
 provide knowledge that enlightens the public's mind. In the past, kingdoms considered library is considered crucial storage of their kingdom area and their expertise of warfare, science and technology,
for example
, Nalanda, in Bihar, had the largest library of that era, many scholars from around the world, would travel to study there. In recent times too,
libraries
 provide information regarding all the subject one needs.
Thus
, it is an important resource and should be free, so that all
people
 can accumulate knowledge for their betterment.
Although
 public
libraries
 are important for some public's enlightenment, many
people
 misuse
this
 facility. Lending
books
 from public
libraries
 and never returning them incur a loss to these
libraries
, and
moreover
, it depletes other
people
 of the information that book consists. In the recent study conducted by a reputed university, it has been noted that every year almost 20% of
books
 that were taken from public
libraries
, were not returned even after the due date. The study concluded that
this
 is due to the low amount being charged for these
books
.
Therefore
, it is safe to say that increasing the penalty charges is required. In conclusion, I would like to agree on the fact that public
libraries
 are an important resource for any country and absolutely doesn't wastes the public money,
however
, it shouldn't be kept free, as
this
 would lead more misuses by the crowd. Keeping all the
books
 in check, and incrementing the penalty for missing the due date is necessary.
People
 should understand the importance of these
libraries
 and consider them as a source of learning for the whole public.
