A library is a public or private space that houses a collection of books, magazines, and other materials for reading, study, and research. Libraries often provide access to computers, the internet, and various multimedia resources. They serve as community hubs, offering programs and events for people of all ages. In addition to physical books, many libraries offer digital resources, such as e-books and online databases. Librarians assist visitors in finding information and navigating the library's resources. Libraries also promote literacy and lifelong learning, making them valuable institutions in society.
