Category:Libraries

In its traditional sense, a library is a collection of books.

However, with the collection or invention of media other than books for storing information, many libraries are now repositories and/or access points for maps, prints or other artwork, microfilm, microfiche, software, audio tapes, CDs, LPs, video tapes and DVDs, and have facilities to use CD-ROM databases and the Internet.

Thus, modern libraries have been redefined as places to get access to information in any format, whether it is stored inside the building or not.
