Our school also has a library, but it’s not large. When I have free time, I often visit it and look for interesting books to read. All books are kept and arranged properly, so it’s not difficult to find what you need. Besides, the librarians are always there to help you.
Nowadays, there is also a possibility to read books in electronic format. In my opinion, it’s one of the best and most interesting libraries in our area. Whenever I come here, there are different exhibitions of books, pictures, photos. Sometimes, there are also lessons for the little ones, where they can hear a fairy-tale, draw a dragon or make a castle.
I think that libraries are very important for people of any age. First of all, it’s the great means of education. Secondly, we can get lots of useful information there. And, finally, it just feels good to spend time in a place where nobody disturbs you when you’re reading.
