Good books are treasures of human knowledge, wisdom and experience. Therefore, the government has established many libraries which provide us with a lot of books in all fields of muman culture .
However, if ask ourselves "Has reading become an old-fashioned habit?" , I' m sure everyone will admit that reading has become a thing of the past thanks to e-books and modern means of communications.
