Well, the obvious (明显的) answer to this question一at least, it's obvious to me一is no! But there are many people who don't think so. They suggest closing libraries, since "you can find everything on the Internet". In fact, they are wrong One can't find everything on the Internet! While the Internet makes search(搜索)easy, and it is probably the best resource(资源) for many health and science topics, we really need books. We can only be sure that the information we find on the Internet is true by reading books.‎ Libraries offer more services than just the basic information one can find through Google. For example, a school library can provide services and different resources for all students of the school. Students have different learning ways School libraries can deal with all of these differences.‎ One of the great writers, Doug Johnson, recently wrote an article about this topic. I recommend (推荐) reading it to understand this topic from different angles (角度) I especially like his last paragraph: Don't take away either my electronic ‎ resources or my books. Both are needed to provide students with useful information. And keep in mind that a great library is not just a collection of materials—print or electronic. It is an important mixture of resources, courses and activities. It can help students not only have information, but also the necessary skills to put that information to good use.‎ ‎( )17.
