This may be true to some extent，because a DVD player is often more expensive than a bookshelf. However，with immense storage capacity，these new high-tech media can actually save the most valuable resource-space. A computer disc 12 cm in diameter can store a whole Encyclopedia Britannia which，in printed volumes，would occupy a complete shelf section.Furthermore，magnetic and digital media can store information much longer than traditional means. It takes great care to protect books from moisture，fire or human damage and a book in a library serves readers for only a few hundred years. But digital files, easily duplicated and restored，can perhaps last forever.Finally，visiting a library with multiple media access is much more interesting. Multimedia resources offer readers a dynamic combination of images, sounds and videos.A reader can actually hear Martin Luther King crying out “I have a dream”,or roam about the world with an interactive atlas.To sum up, a public library has been turned by modern technology from a place of lending and borrowing books into an interactive center for the spread of human knowledge and experience. Governments can invest more in multimedia facilities by a public library。
