英文：
Nowadays most people especially students can get information and knowledge by the Internet easily. So are the libraries still necessary? It is a topic that is worth thinking.
I am going to tell you my answer but obviously after a short break. I will tell you a story happened to me first.
In 2001 there was no Internet both at school and in my home. One day the Chinese homework was to complete several sentences from Tang Poetry without giving names or poets. I was in the library and looked at a thick book that contained all Tang Poems. It took me a whole afternoon to find them all.
But doing the homework now takes only a few minutes we have search engines which is very quick to find answers if we type in key words.
Now I will get you back to our topic as I promised. The convenience of internet is tremendous. What’s more the advantage of searching on the Internet than searching in books of a library is focusing. Search results are targeted and cut off unnecessary information so studying becomes more efficient.
Besides books are heavy and the content is difficult to copy and use. We need to write it down or scan or other methods to deal with the information. But internet information is much easier to reuse.
Also some precious books are protected which may be forbidden to take them outside. And most libraries have a short period such as one week for readers to keep the book at home. Time is quite limited. But on the Internet the information can be reached by many people in the same time. We can read it whenever we want.
After talking about the shortcomings of libraries is there a strong reason to turn them off?
I think the answer is no. The libraries are more like public gathering places than places which store books.
Firstly libraries are beautiful architectures. We may feel like traveling. The University of Chicago Library National Library of China and other famous libraries are beauty spots. Even sitting there and holding a book in hand the feeling is terrific.
Secondly there are many activities in libraries such as lectures workshops seminars and so on. For example National Library of China has open classes which teach Chinese literature Guqin and so on. Students and visitors can gain knowledge by taking lectures from world-famous professionals.
Thirdly libraries offer meeting rooms video equipment blackboards which are very useful to students. In college students take a lot of time in library. It is the fastest way to do team projects. Even the libraries are good places to find a boyfriend or a girlfriend since students can stay together for a long time and communicate more.
In conclusion students today can easily access information online but libraries are still necessary. Because libraries are more like a gathering and learning places which have multiple functions not about searching information alone.
中文：
现在这个时代，大部分人，特别是学生，在网上查找信息的知识特别方便，那么图书馆还是必要的吗？这是一个值得探讨的话题。
在说出我的答案之前，先卖个关子，讲一件发生在我身上的故事。
2001年的时候，无论是我的学校还是家里，都没有网络的。有一天的语文作业，是要补充完整几句唐诗，但没有给诗的名字或者作者名字。我待在图书馆，对这一本很厚的全唐诗，花了整整一个下午才把诗句都找到。
但如果今天做这个作业，只需要几分钟，因为我们有互联网搜索引擎，只要几个关键词就可以找到完整句子。
现在让我们回到我开始承诺讲的话题。互联网的方便是巨大的。更重要的是，在互联网上搜索查找比在图书馆找书最大的好处就是专注。搜索的结果是很精准的，并且去掉了很多不必要的信息，所以让学习变得高效了。
另外一个原因，书籍是很重的，而且很难复制和使用里面的内容，可能需要抄写，扫描或者其他的处理方法来获得信息，而网络上的信息就很好被再次利用。
还有，珍贵的图书是禁止带出图书馆之外的。大部分的图书馆都有一个很短的借阅期限比如一周，只有在这个期间才能在家看。时间很有限。而互联网上的信息可以同时被多人使用，我们能读的时间就大大增加了。
说完了图书馆的不好，那么有让图书馆关门的强力理由吗？
我认为是没有的。图书馆已经越来越像一个公共聚集空间而非一个存储读书的空间。
第一，图书馆是很漂亮的建筑，我们待在里面甚至像在旅行。像芝加哥大学图书馆，中国国家图书馆和很多著名的图书馆都是旅游景点。哪怕就坐在里面，端本书，那感觉也是很奇妙的。
第二，图书馆会举办很多活动，比如讲座、工作坊、研讨会费等等。例如中国国家图书馆就有国图公开课，讲中国文学，古琴等等话题。学生、参观者都可以享受世界级专家的课堂，从中学到知识。
第三，图书馆还提供会议室，视频设备，黑板等等设施，这对学生是很有用的。在大学里，学生们花很长时间泡图书馆，这就是因为在这里做小组的作业最快捷。甚至图书馆是谈恋爱的好地方，因为学生们可以待在一起很长时间还能比较多的交流。
总结一下，虽然现在的学生需要什么资料都可以从网上查到，但是图书馆还是很有存在的必要。因为图书馆越来越是拥有多功能的一个聚会和学习的场所，而非简单的检索信息的地方。
