PUBLIC LIBRARIES ARE ESSENTIAL TO COMMUNITY, AND THE ERASURE OF LIBRARIES WOULD BE DETRIMENTAL

Abstract

This article demonstrates the importance of public libraries and their collections. Their job descriptions include gathering information and searching for books and resources for the patron’s professional or personal use. Public libraries benefit everyone regardless of who they are, because of the vast free resources offered, hard work put in by the librarian and staff, and therefore should be protected against the threatening competition.
