Necessity of libraries

Not very long ago, many people had the habit of reading books. But nowadays it seems to be a rare habit. People find it more fascinating to spend time on facebook and other social networks rather than reading books. But the fact is, until and unless we get back to our reading habit, building a knowledge based society is not possible. And without knowledge based society a country cannot march forward. There lies the importance of library. A library helps to grow reading habit among people. There are dozens of food outlets across any road of Dhaka but alas, not a single book shop or library! It seems library is going to be extinct from our country. How about building one public library in every union of Bangladesh? Local administrations should come forward to materialise this in order to help people grow reading habit.
