Nowadays some people think that public libraries are not necessary, while others disagree. Discuss both views and give your own opinion and examples. There has been widespread heated debate over the necessity of having public libraries or by the advent of the Internet and online libraries it is time to rethink about such an important place. When it comes to this notion, I hold the idea that although many people have access to the Internet, many books and article are protected by copyright, therefore it is not high time to replace the Internet with the traditional public libraries. A majority of people argue that gone are the days we needed public libraries. They maintain that since the dawn of new technologies such as electronic libraries or online encyclopedias the role of traditional libraries has become less and less important. The more the penetration index of the Internet, the lower the usage of public libraries. Fed up of long waiting list of limited paper books, even loyal members of traditional libraries these days are finding most of what they used to find only at public libraries at the online libraries easily by their smart phones even in their dead time. On the other hand, others, however, claim that not all people access the online resources, hence the importance of public libraries. They hold the idea that not only are many updated materials protected by copyright, but also many a person across the globe does not access online facilities. Arguably, public libraries in such areas plays a pivotal role in increasing mass awareness, and broadening populace’s horizons living in less developed countries. By way of conclusion, I believe libraries are chief pillars of a civilized society without which raising public awareness seems impossible or at least hard to achieve. Perhaps both types of libraries are significant bases of a fruitful society, but as far as I am concerned, traditional public libraries are still needed, and, though hard, it is about time authorities refurbished such an otherwise perfect place benefiting people both traditional and modern research facilities.
