Importance of Library

A library can be considered a store – house of knowledge. It plays an important role in our academic and social lives. It offers free education and entertainment to the member of the college. Library is the only place where we are free from all conventions because reading is absolutely a matter of personal choice. Readers are allowed to read what they like and also read the book according to their own manner. Since everything is systematic and the atmosphere is calm the students can gain more in less time. One can save time and energy studying in libraries.
