With the advent of the Internet, libraries have been modernized. In addition to paper books, in modern libraries you can temporarily access the electronic version of your favorite work, as well as read an interested literary work directly in the reading room on the library computer monitor screen.

When almost every computer owner got the opportunity to connect to the global network, the interest in reading literature among young people fell dramatically for a while. Over time, portable devices for reading books appeared on sale, and reading became fashionable again, only now they began to search for books on the Internet, and not in libraries. And if the libraries didn’t catch on time and didn’t keep pace with the times, they would be in for a total closure.
Modern library
Unlike the first libraries, which occupied huge halls and stored tens of thousands of books, a modern library can even be located in a small kiosk. And dark so that the paper does not deteriorate, the depositories of books gradually become historical monuments and repositories of relics in massive binders.
Connoisseurs who love the rustle of pages and the yellowness of book paper can still go to the library or go to a second-hand bookstore and please themselves with new fiction. Those who prefer the essence of the story embedded in the book to the classical form factor go to the library, where files with the works of writers and poets can be downloaded to a portable device for reading books, a smartphone or a tablet computer.
The principle of issuing e-books in a modern library is similar to the subscription system. Only instead of a subscription and a treasured book with a library seal, the reader receives a code. This code must be entered on the site, after which access to reading the selected literary work will open.
