“Libraries are irrelevant in the age of the internet and should not be publicly funded.” Do you agree or disagree?

The

internet

has taken over the place of

libraries

in an extremely short span of time. Some people believe that

libraries

are irrelevant as

this

is the era of the

internet

and they should not be given any cash by the public

while

others do not.

This

essay will provide you with the reasons why

libraries

are getting obsolete in

this

modern world of online resources, and

also

how the government could spend the

library

's public funds in some other place.

Firstly

, the world has been running towards technology and the

internet

for ages

instead

of spending time in

libraries

. As everything is available on the

internet

,

for example

, if you want to make notes for your exam

then

you can easily search for a book regarding the subject rather than wasting hours and hours in the

library

.

Moreover

, going to the

library

just to study can be so time-consuming because you have to commute to the

library

just to read a single book there,

on the other hand

, you can surely do

this

by sitting at your home. Clearly,

libraries

are of no use because all the things are available on the

internet

Secondly

, public funding the

libraries

is a total waste of funds, as only the cafes are being maintained through the hard-earned money of the people, and the

libraries

are being used by hardly 1% of the whole population.

In Addition

to

this

, all the funds are going in vain, and they should be used for some other purpose,

for instance

, the responsible organization should invest that amount in making a website for their people where they can easily get those books for free which they have to buy for themselves from the online stores.

This

essay discussed that the

libraries

are not being utilized by the new generation

due to

timing issues, and

also

because of the growing popularity of the

internet

,

therefore

, wasting money on the maintenance of physical

libraries

is useless, rather than the government should think about providing an online

library

to the public.
