On Libraries or the Lack Thereof

article image placeholderUploaded by @belle
We don't have many libraries around my house. I'm not sure how many people that affects in my neighborhood because I don't know how many people are fond of reading here. But I am. And it really bothers me that the people in my neighborhood are willing to spend money on so many things, but not on a proper library with an enviable book collection

Well, I'm so jealous of you right now because we have such a good library and we don't. But let's hope for the best. Let's hope that in the near future we do get a proper library with a good collection of books because books really matter and people should read more. So Yeah

And I don't think they have restocked library in ages. So yeah, the books are like the pages are more eaten. It's mostly like banglada books, which is absolutely fine if they are at least readable. But they're not. I mean, the last time I visited the library was when I was pretty young, probably six or seven years ago. And even then, the condition was exactly the way you explained yours. I think the roof was the ceiling has had those cracks and stuff

Hi. Thank you for your viewpoint on this episode. I totally agree with you. And this is becoming a very serious matter. I think the youth of Kolkata should do something about it because, you know, there are people who cannot afford to buy, buy books. And for them, libraries are the ultimate option. And many of them don't even have a proper library in their universities or schools because the school which I studied and didn't have a proper library. Okay
