Libraries are wonderful places where you can borrow a great book to read, a great CD to listen to, or a great movie to watch. Since Libraries are huge storage houses of information that is, for the most part, for public use, you can find answers to many of your questions, or research most any topic that you find interesting for no cost. Their are some libraries that specialize in a special topic such as the law, medical issues, music, sports, etc.

Libraries are the people's universities. Anyone can go there and learn about anything. No matter how poor you are, you can afford a library card (free).

Libraries are a community's shared collection of books, films, recordings, and documents and a place where residents can access the internet, attend programs, and, in some cases, be tutored.

libraries are collections of books.
and public libraries are a cornerstone of civilization,
it allows everybody access to books that they may otherwise not be able to read and if everybody had to have their own library,
then it would take up a whole lot of space , the publishing companies would be very happy, but they would have to chop down a whole lot of trees to make those books which i think is not very good.
God bless,
