Topic 25: Many people think that public libraries should only provide books and should 
not waste their money on expensive hi-tech media, such as software, DVDs or videos. Do 
you agree or disagree?
 
(take up little space), (easier to manage);(instantly copied),(wear over time),(risk of damage on the 
pages) ;
(cut down on ink production, paper and lumber production) ;
(reader-friendly), (type, size and font are adjustable), (shared by many people at a time);
( out of print)
(conventional printed book )
(less harmful to eyes), ( Less eye strain over extended reading time); (portable);
(require no power source or reading device)
A library, generally, refers to a place storing and managing books that can be booked or 
borrowed.
In these years, there is a trend toward integrating new technologies, such as DVDs and videos, in 
libraries. Opponents argue that the emphasis should be placed on providing books, rather than on 
increasing modem equipment. Modernization is, in my opinion, an inevitable tendency, although 
the enlargement of a library's reserve should not be treated lightly.
One of the main advantages of using computers or other hi-tech products is improving 
efficiency. By recording information of books such as titles, authors, dates of publishing, or even 
summaries in a computer system, e-library allows readers to find a book promptly. Likewise, 
librarians are more able to store, seek out and manage books. Moreover, with the central network 
connecting libraries throughout a country or worldwide, a library user can easily locate a book in 
a library wherever it is.
Meanwhile, one should note that e-books have become increasingly popular, increasing the 
likelihood that e-library will sooner or later take the place of a conventional library. Compared 
with paper books, e-books not only use much less space but also give readers more enjoyment in 
reading. For example, readers can customize their viewing experience easily by adjusting font, 
size and style of characters, accessing the books that have the same subject, and modifying 
screen contract, and so forth. E-books appeal to young users or children specifically because of 
its remarkable ability to demonstrate or explain a subject vividly via pictures, videos or even 
movies.
The importance of updating the facilities is therefore evident, but it should be stressed that 
the primary responsibility of libraries is to provide as many books as possible to the public. A 
good library is judged not by the extent to which its facilities are modernized, but by how much 
information it can supply. The more books the library can make available, the more visitors it 
can attract. At the international level, nearly every distinguished library gains its fame by 
providing a vast collection and a delicate selection of books.
As suggested above, the library should focus not only on the installment of modem 
equipment, but also on purchasing more books. The top priority for a library is to maximize the 
reserve of books and make the resource available.
