Though challenged by the development of new technologies and e-books, public libraries still play an important role in our life and appeal to increasing numbers of people, especially the young.

There are several reasons accounting for public libraries surviving the wave of digitalization. To begin with, they are open to all, providing free access to the latest resources and technologies. What?s more, one of the drawbacks of the digital materials is that they?re not always trustworthy while public libraries can offer a large collection of reliable reference books. These practical functions aside, we still need the physical space, where we can fully concentrate on our study without easily getting distracted.

To better develop public libraries, the government should first give more financial support. Meanwhile, the facilities of the libraries are expected to be updated accordingly and the employees should be professional. Only in this way can libraries meet the needs of various age groups.
