开头第三句。一分为二：分头指引讨论二者利弊。
The public can still benefit from visiting libraries, even though these days access to theInternet can provide all kinds of information. To enhance the quality of research, it is better tomake the most of both modern Web-based and traditional library resources. Establishing freelibraries in each town makes sense since the use of a computer at home has its own weaknessesas well as its indisputable strengths.
At this information age, the diversified advantages of using the Internet are only too obvious.Online resources can be obtained from all over the world 24 hours a day, seven days a weekwhile a library's publications cannot provide up-to-minute information the way Web sites can.The Internet gives users opportunities for two-way communication through Facebook, Twitter,E-mail, MSN, among other electronic devices. Some sites feature rare books, documents andspecial collections that traditionally have been only available in libraries. Almost at no cost andmerely a few clicks away, the public can read newspapers, magazines, journals andencyclopedias, no matter when or where. Furthermore, the Internet offers a completemultimedia experience—texts, video, audio, hyperlinks and graphics, etc. all at once, but suchadvantages often cannot be expected from town libraries.
On the other hand, money spent on public libraries is certainly worth it. To start with,knowledgeable librarians can be of practical help when it comes to offering professionaladvice about research on particular topics. A government-financed library is supposed to useuniversal cataloging systems that classify and organize all resources so that it is easier for auser to locate specific information without being led to non-productive research. Whereasmost Web sites provide materials characteristic of current information, only a library well-funded by public money can house printed copies that date back many decades. In addition,computers in libraries also offer free Internet connection and other electronic resources, such asreference CD-ROMs. Now that anyone can create a Web site, reliability of information on theInternet is not guaranteed, and as such there are cases in which the Internet is no substitutefor the library.
Money being not the issue, the government ought to have the wisdom of establishing freelibraries in each community despite the fact that people can use the Internet at home orelsewhere. For quality research, libraries and the Internet are complementing each other. Wereinformation food for the hungry mind, one might as eat out sometimes as eat at home, and atthis point nobody ever ask questions whether to have "free" restaurants in town.
