THE LIBRARY

                            A library is a collection of books. It is generally used for the students and also for the public. The number of men who can buy the books they require for their culture is very small. Libraries meet this intellectual need. Therefore, come to be regarded as almost indispensable institutions for every society.  The organization also has been made a branch of scientific study.
                             There are many kinds of libraries. Some are meant for the public .The books here are issued for studied at home. There is provision also for free reading rooms.
                             School and college libraries are meant only for the teachers and student of the respective institutions.
                               There are also travelling a library here and there, which means that selected collections of books belonging to a big central library are circulated by turn from place to place. There are also special libraries that particularize in special subject.
                                     The organizations of the library have been greatly improved in recent years. The old system of indexing books has been replaced in most big libraries by the system of card indexing.
                                     Every member is given a distinct card and when he takes away a book. There is also  the open shelf –system in some places.
