Times are changing so speedily and I believe things are supposed to change with times just like the black and white television 📺 set has been entirely replaced with flat screens color television. And even soon enough smart Television will take over from LCDs. This is how fast paced this times has become.

I can’t remember the last time I visited the Library 📚, maybe it was when I was writing ✍️ a project concerning on how important business management is to every person who is involved in succeeding in any kind of business. I went into the Library to look on the books 📕 to business management.

And not that I could not source these books online or digitally but needed some specific authors who are old timers. And I indeed was able to help myself out to resolving some challenges within an environment that greets you with silence and calmness. This I know just happened once in a while especially now that the world 🌍 is digitalized.

Although many people might still want to visit the library 📚 due to how the environment enables you to enjoy reading without any noise from anyone and how the quietness becomes very obvious, significantly showing how everyone who comes there is for a purpose of reading 📖 and digging out information, but visits to the library has reduced to 30% of the previous 💯 due to how the 70% of the individuals are reading and sourcing information digitally. Thanks to how technology and innovation has continued to improve lifestyle in this 21st century globally.

Right now I don’t think 💭 the library 📚 is needed anymore like in the years that are passed when it was the only means and sources of information and this the government are supposed to be aware of since digitalization has taken over, making things so easy around the world 🌍. Most of the informations people needs are online and this has helped to resolve the Issue of being involved with the physical reading 📖 or information sourcing in the library 📚.

I feel the government of every nation should know how things are changing through technology and innovation and go with times, thereby knowing the basic things to do to meet up with the present age and era. By this I mean that we have some public sectors that needs more attention than still investing funds in the library. The health sector is one place that the government should pay more attention because medicals are becoming two expensive in my country Nigeria 🇳🇬. They should also look into the agricultural sector to help improve how more crops should be produced to enable more availability of foods at a cheaper rate, leaving those sectors that does not help out the citizens again due to times changing.

However, we know that channeling the funds into other sectors that needs to do better will affect the library but that is what it is because of how innovation make times and things to change. The library will loose its value but the other sectors with more attention and funds investments will thrive more, helping the economy of its nation. Change is the only thing constant, and since the world 🌍 is changing, we the people needs to go with change. We need to focus on what the present is offering us especially those that are solving problems, yielding productivities and providing profits.

The library is becoming obsolete and I feel even with the old generation facts that are buried in most of them, this era does not need anything going back in time . Its an era of modernization and we are still expecting newer things as the years pace along.

This is my response to the #hiveleaners featured content of week 158, edition 02, tagged “WHO NEEDS LIBRARIES”.

Thanks for reading friends ❤️❤️
