Library

The only thing that you absolutely have to know is the location of the library. —Albert Einstein

Some people say despite the great popularity of TV and Internet, books and libraries will remain the greatest and best source for learning and knowledge. But, I don't think so. Both TV, Internet and books, libraries are different ways of learning.

It's hard to tell which is the best and the greatest. People won't only use one way to learn. In the libraries, we can see people surf the Internet. In the train, we can see some people reading books; some people do some reading by iPhones or iPads. We will choose different ways to learn in different times and different locations. Also with different people, we would use different ways.

No matter what, TV, Internet or books, libraries are very important for us to learn something.

Libraries are a cornerstone of democracy—where information is free and equally available to everyone. People tend to take that for granted, and they don’t realize what is at stake when that is put at risk. —Carla Hayden
