One of the main reasons for such a significant decline in the number of students is that many students now have laptops or computers, so they no longer need to go to the library to find information from textbooks. Because the Internet search engine is a simple and convenient way to use, and the information provided by the Internet comes from a wide range of sources, such as books, periodicals, newspapers, etc ... People from different countries. Therefore, students no longer go to the library to look for information from books, because it takes longer and information is limited, because it is only from books.
Another reason for this phenomenon is that the library is no longer a peaceful environment, because some students tend to talk among friends. This has a great influence on those who want to concentrate on their studies. Therefore, students go to other quiet places to study, so that they can concentrate on their work.
Some libraries, such as state libraries, can charge students a small fee for books they want to borrow. Because students' budget (living expenses) is very tight, this leads them to choose free learning methods.
The above reasons explain why the number of students studying in the library is decreasing now. It is difficult to judge whether this situation is good or bad. But it does reflect a phenomenon among current students.
