Traditional libraries are still valuable.

They provide a quiet place to study and a chance to touch books.

They also help students connect with others and get help from librarians, something digital tools can’t do.

Digital libraries remove barriers, making it easy for everyone to get information.

They have tools for those with disabilities or language issues.
