Essay Writing Contest Winner
A library is a databank of knowledge. It is a portion of people’s mind stored in books, journals, newspapers or even websites that can conveniently be read and re-read for everyone’s use for progress.
The great discoveries made in the 15th and 16th century and the industrial boom of the 18th to the 19th century was anchored onto this great databank of knowledge The discoveries and inventions made in different fields of knowledge were simply induced or deduced from previously recorded theories or evidence of truths recorded in libraries. Without this databank of knowledge used by the generation that came after, we would have remained living in caves or trees, we would still have relied on raw sources of energy, and we would have not experienced such comfort brought to us by the inventions made by great men who also relied on previous discoveries, theories and contentions documented by their predecessors.
Reading from libraries allow people to gain leverage most especially in leadership and progress. Knowledge gives people freedom. Being better informed allows one to make wiser decisions that can positively affect ones life and his contribution to the community.
A library is a collection of the portions of the minds of great people. The cerebral creativity of human kind is multidimensional and unending. Such explosive activity of the brain cells can only be stored in libraries. Somehow, a portion of the theories, thought processes and ideas of psychologists, politicians, artists, mathematicians are stored for the use of the next generation. Such meager portion of their minds have definitely allowed us to move forward into a more civilized and comfortable environment.
Nowadays, the idea of a traditional library is becoming unpopular with the advent of information technology. Traditional or modern however, a library remains to be a database of knowledge. It may vary in form, but it still is a representation of a portion of great peoples mind pooled together in books, journals, newspapers or websites.
There is no contention whether libraries in traditional or modern form can lead to progress. The challenge is whether people know how to make use of such powerful tool for progress. The challenge among our generation is to learn to love reading.

“Reading makes us feel that we are not alone. It gives us clear and vivid picture of things unseen and takes us to places where we haven’t been. It stimulates our inmost being and urges us to know more about life. Through reading we learn and we discover things. It instills in us the very essence of us.”
