1 Librarians, and the people who support libraries make use of the library's wonders. They are, according to me, the heroes of civilization. These people, in their quiet way, have maintained one of civilization's great traditions: the gathering of the human life experience. In this way, libraries have been and shall always be the engines of civilization's progress.
2 In fact, without libraries, such progress would be impossible, especially in our modern era. These days, we all depend upon libraries. We can explore the thoughts and actions of others. And that gives us a remarkable power to change and grow and do things better.
3 Good films or television programs have their place, but when you really need to understand a question in depth, you've got to turn to books. And because books are so expensive these days, libraries have become very important to ensure that reading doesn't become a hobby for the rich.
4 Books are the lifeblood of the library because they enlighten our world, and encourage the expansion of culture. With these words in mind, I think we owe it to ourselves and to future generations to serve others by keeping learning and literacy alive. The future of the country absolutely depends on a literate population, and reaching that goal involves strong support of our public schools, universities, and public libraries.
5 If I could give young people a valuable gift, it would be a good education, an education rich in literature, science, mathematics, history, crafts, sport, and the fine arts. It would be an education with no shortage of excellent teachers and a full supply of the world's best books. I do strongly believe that “the more you read, the more you know. The more you know, the smarter you grow….” So, let’s pay tribute to our teachers and take good care of our libraries.

Post-reading

Today the majority of students who have access to new technologies and the Internet think that libraries are useless. Yet, others say that "all depends on libraries". Which opinion do you share? And why?

Libraries are useless:
- Internet is faster and easier.
- Save time and energy.
- Reading doesn't mean success.

All depends on libraries:
- Reading a to learn from others.
- Knowledge is everyone (rich/poor)
- "Don't give me a fish, teach me how to fish."
