Because Libraries and Bookstores are pieces of heaven on Earth.
“Libraries were full of ideas – perhaps the most dangerous and powerful of all weapons.”
Sarah J. Maas
Why libraries are important?
Libraries have a key role in our cultures. They provide a safe, educational, and accessible resource for members of every community in the world. Every single one of us can count on our libraries to provide them with answers to important questions they can't otherwise find.
Thanks to libraries, our history has been able to be preserved and continues holding the truth. To keep being the House of Knowledge and the center of learning.
