My dad saw it and suggested that I go to the library to get a library card, saying that many books and magazines can be borrowed without buying.
Actually, I have a library card of Shanghai Library, but I really don't like to borrow books there.
I explained to my father why I don't borrow books from the library:
First, it is not convenient to scribble and take notes directly on books, especially books that need to be read quickly and focused.
Second, the number and time of reading books are limited, so there is no such problem in buying books.
Thirdly, the library doesn't necessarily have the books I want, and it takes time to get used to the retrieval system of the library (to be honest, I feel a little depressed every time I see the fourth floor of the Shanghai Library).
Now, if you want to look up a book online, whether it is an e-book or a paper book, you can quickly find relevant information, and many books also provide free trial reading in electronic version. In addition, you can also use the "book list" of major websites to quickly search other related books around a theme, which is very convenient.
Fourth, it takes time and money to go back and forth.
Which is more cost-effective to buy books or borrow books?
My point is:
First, the books you buy are not limited by time, and you can also scribble and review after reading them.
Second, online shopping can be delivered to the door, saving time and money on the way and saving time and labor costs.
Third, if you encounter a big promotion on the website again, it will be more value for money.
So I still think it is more cost-effective to buy books online than to borrow them from the library.
But if everyone thinks like me, won't anyone go to the library? Of course not.
First of all, I must declare that I agree that there are many kinds of books in the library, and they are free to borrow, which naturally has its advantages. And most admirable of all, I also made a classification for you. When consulting a book, it is basically around books related to the theme, so reading the theme is more intuitive and convenient.
Therefore, there must still be people who are willing to borrow books and materials from the library.
I think that even in the future, library customers will still exist. They will be:
1. Poor people who really can't afford books (but how many people are too poor to afford books? )
Second, people who look for books and materials that are hard to find in the market for academic research.
Third, look for expensive books and people who only use information for a short time.
Fourth, people who consult out-of-print books
5. Retired people with nothing to do at home
What do you think of the library? Welcome to leave a message to discuss with me.
Double 1 1 is coming, and all major e-commerce companies are offering discounts. It doesn't matter when this wave passes. There are JD.COM and Tmall.
In the long run, buying anything is really cheaper than buying books. Buy more books.
Finally, I want to see if I can buy it.
