Regarding the view that the government should open more libraries, I think the increase in the number of free libraries can provide places for people to read and consult information, form a reading atmosphere, and keep people's attention and love for books, which is beneficial to the construction of urban civilization. Moreover, by opening a library, some institutions can organize activities in the library, and people can learn knowledge, increase interaction and meet new friends by participating in activities. In addition, opening a free library can help people and families with poor economic conditions learn knowledge, and they can learn knowledge and skills by themselves in the free library, thus reducing social inequality.
On the other hand, it is more convenient and comprehensive to obtain information on the Internet than to go to the library to look up information. The deeper the popularity of the Internet, the more people will rely on the Internet and reduce the probability of going to the library, so building more libraries will also cause a waste of money.
I think more free libraries should be built, and the number should match the economic level and population size of the city. Only when supply and demand are balanced can it make sense to build a free library, otherwise it will be a waste of resources and money.
