Library are indeed a blessing in the modern world. Books, even in this age of cheap literature, cost money and there are poor people cannot afford even the price of the cheap edition. They can read, they crave for knowledge, but they cannot satisfy their thirst because they cannot afford a book. It is for such people that libraries are more useful. There is no doubt that libraries are a great blessing and when the book are wisely selected, they have a great educational value, and have done much to encourage the habit of reading among the working classes. Of course, most of the book are novels and most of the peoples are novels-reader, but there is not much ham in this, as the reading of sound fiction is not only a source of amusement and pleasure, but is also a means of broadening one's mind and learning more about life and human nature.
