They let people revise for tests. Books can improve your imagination and knowledge which are important life skills. Most people think that you learn from books and libraries are good as they hold lots of different books. Books are a great learning source and are very accessible in a library. Libraries also provide computers to enable you to research on for free. I also found out that 42 of the people I asked said that they went to the library twice a month. The more you go to the library the more you learn and knowledge is gained. I asked if the library was a good place to revise my response was positive and 10 people said that the library is good to revise in. Also people mostly find that they learn best in the day so the library is very convenient. A bad point is that most people learn best at home. Most people like to read fiction books. • That is why I decided the library is beneficial By Elena Martin •Thank you for reading my research project
