Do we still need libraries in this digital age...?? Libraries everywhere are under threat. Who needs a library today, when it is possible to find and read almost any and every book or article that has ever been published by using internet. Libraries are a statutory service and it should be available to everyone....but why do we need it when everything is available on net. Yes, library exhibits positive impact on the academic but at a huge cost and maintenance. Libraries do allow people of any income level or background to access high-quality information and to borrow what they want. Whether we like it or not, library culture is almost dying due to easy availability of information on the net. Hence, new innovative services are being developed, taking advantage of IT advances to enhance people’s experiences of using their libraries in the library building through access to e-books and other online collections.
