We’ve got books having stories of the myths and legends of the Greek mythology, accounts on mysterious murders, volumes of the constitution, hardback copies of famous biographies and many more. Name a piece of information; you’ve got it somewhere, right here in this place, a library.

A library, though it might sound like a boring place to some ears, it actually isn’t, once you begin exploring this amazing place you’d come to that it’s not just about books and papers, but something much more than that. It’s a place which offers comfort and opens doors to your world of imagination, where a prince could slay dragons; where the dead could come back to life and a place where a glass slipper decides the fate of two people. Flipping the pages over and resolving yourself into a deeper abyss in the silence of the library, let me tell you it’s a completely different experience and only a person having a true fondness for reading could only understand this.

With columns of endless supply of tales and that distinct smell of those books which has that hint of muckiness lingering in the air, a smile definitely tugs upon a person’s face. A library is not just a place for reading and research but also a space for relaxation.

Despite the fact that this is the 21st century, an era of digital libraries, it does not exactly fill the role of an actual original library, because the feel on paper is nothing like scrolling over for the virtual ones on the internet. Visiting libraries with kids could improve their literacy skills from a very young age and learn the responsibility of caring of the books if they’ve borrowed any. Craning your necks into a book and diving into its pages with interest for long hours, let me tell you it’s not a bad leisure pursuit after all as they provide wisdom, sometimes much beyond your years of learning. I guess its better devouring one book after the other than wasting time over unnecessary activities. These are also places where you’ll find people with similar interests and you could spend hours talking about your favorite classics and theories. Who knows one of you could be a famous writer in the forthcoming times and this could a memory that puts a smile on your faces.

So be it a story where a young girl falls in to a rabbit hole or a gifted scientist’s book on relativity, whatever the delicate pages in your hand contain, it’s got to get to your heart and fill that void of imagination and satisfy the hunger to learn something new. Lost in the world of wonderful stories, or finding opportunities for your future self anything could be possible in this house of books. Well then, is your heart murmuring you to visit a library at this very instant? Then what are you waiting for? Next stop, to the athenaeum! It’s another name for library silly, let’s get going then.
