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?

Some people get hold of the idea that public

libraries

' funds should be aimed at purchasing publications,

instead

of being used to subscribe for modern media

such

as videos and DVDs.

However

, I disagree with them, because these technologies have as much importance as traditional books in broadening the horizons for citizens, and public

libraries

facilitate accessing them for those who cannot afford to obtain these items. These days many references that should be present in public

libraries

are only available in video format

For example

, National Geographic documentaries on Africa, which are popular among those who

continent, are only offered as visual clips.

Therefore

For instance

As a result
