Question

Once upon a time，a library was just about the only place that someone could go to get a book or go to read for free．Then came the arrival of the Internet，and that changed everything．Before long，books were available on different sites on the web．It was only a matter of time until Kindle，Nook，and other e-readers swept the scene．Along with them came the e-book．Many believed that this would be the end of libraries．But libraries still exist today，and many of them even thrive（繁荣）．So，how is it possible that they survived against the onslaught of e-books？
For one thing，the truth is that libraries were never just about borrowing books for free．Librarians provide many services other than those of a desk clerk or customer service agent．They often hold seminars，presentations，contests，and other events to promote free education．These events are considered necessary by parents and kids alike．
For others，the library is a place where they can go to get away from the rush of the world and from social obligations or family troubles．Many go to the library to study for projects，papers and exams．Others simply see it as a recreational hobby．
For another thing，most libraries and librarians do not reject the changing tides of technology．And neither does the world，for that matter．In the US，the graduate degree program to become a librarian is often called a Library Science program．It reflects the fact that the country believes its librarians should keep up with the latest in information technology．Many librarians agree，and therefore have become experts in the field．Librarians have by now and large willingly educated themselves in the technology needed to keep up with the fast-paced digital world of technology today．
So consider a visit to your local library to see all the recent changes．If you haven't been to one in a while you might not recognize the place．But don't worry．Your librarian will be happy to bring you up to speed．
