作文：Do libraries become useless at the age of information

Do Libraries Become Useless at the Age of Information?


　　There has been a heated discussion about libraries at the age of information among people. Some people, especially the younger generation, challenge the value of conventional libraries. When they need any information in their studies or work, they can turn to their computers for help. For this reason, they do not need to go to a library for borrowing or returning one or two books.


　　While others, including most old people as well as scholars, value libraries. They love libraries because they can enjoy peace and quietness in an isolated spiritual world. And they also have access to rare academic works needed for their studies in the libraries.


　　In my view, conventional libraries are still available though there is still much room for improving. At the Age of Information, as long as knowledge is respected and cherished, libraries won’t extinct from our lives. On the other hand, libraries should not refuse the latest information technology, which will enable them to regain those young readers.
图书馆在信息时代变得无用了吗？


人们对信息时代的图书馆进行了热烈的讨论。一些人，特别是年轻一代，挑战传统图书馆的价值。当他们在学习或工作中需要任何信息时，他们可以求助于电脑。因此，他们不需要去图书馆借阅或归还一两本书。


而其他人，包括大多数老年人和学者，则重视图书馆。他们喜欢图书馆，因为他们可以在一个与世隔绝的精神世界里享受和平与宁静。他们还可以在图书馆获得学习所需的稀有学术著作。


在我看来，传统图书馆仍然可用，但仍有很大的改进空间。在信息时代，只要尊重和珍惜知识，图书馆就不会从我们的生活中消失。另一方面，图书馆不应拒绝最新的信息技术，这将使他们能够重新获得这些年轻读者。
