A library? What is it?
A library. A place that sounds quite familiar to us and everyone knows what library is. However, have you ever been there before? If no, we suggest you visit the nearest local library to find out how exciting it is. You might be wondering about how library benefits you. Is it only about providing books to read? Or books to borrow? Not, library can do more than that. For instance, library plays some roles in the national development. The first role is to be center of knowledge that can give birth to innovation and creativity. Second, library is the centre of community empowerment to develop literacy-based potential, and the last one is to be a cultural center.

Even if you’re not in need of a computer, the free WiFi available at most libraries makes a nice quiet place to work, study, or use the Internet as you wait for your children to finish up their library business.
