Libraries: OR Public libraries: Libraries are an essential part of modern civilization. They provide easy access to wisdom and knowledge for the reading public. Every town and city possesses a library for the use of the general public. Many book lovers maintain their own little private libraries at home. Public libraries stock not only books and other light reading material, but also good encyclopaedias and other reference books. They have a newspaper and journal section with a reading room attached to it. Most libraries house children’s books in a separate section. It is important to observe absolute silence within the precincts of a library so as not to disturb others. Unfortunately many of our country-men have the bad habit of scribbling on library books, tearing out pages and even not returning the books. A good library can be a means of gaining education and it is important that people remember this.
