Some libraries use specially-designed buildings to encourage visitors to explore the shelves and settle down with a new book, or use movable libraries to bring books to hard-to-reach populations. No matter how they achieve it, these novel libraries are keeping the magic of reading alive.

The Camel Library Service

To improve education in the desert of Kenya, the government created a travelling library made up of nine camels bringing books to villages. The library travels four days a week serving the region's nomadic （游牧的）people. Currently the service focuses on children, but with more funding they plan to increase their reach both in distance and the titles they carry.

Beach Library

Reading a book on the beach is a classic, and in Bulgaria, one library encourages tourists to do just that. The white, weather-resistant shelves lined up not far from the waves feature 6,000 books in 15 languages, so every visitor can find the perfect beach read to enjoy while sunbathing.

Macquarie University Library

Seikei University Library

I grew up 3 hours outside of Pittsburgh, with my mother and 3 younger brothers and sisters. My mom was a single mother and worked a minimum wage job, so we never had much, but that was OK, we made ends meet anyhow.

In Senior 1, I started saving money for college by taking a part-time job. I was accepted into the University of Pittsburgh and received some scholarships. But I couldn’t afford the housing because it was way too expensive for me. As result, put mattress (床垫) in an old van (货车) and had the windows painted. I bought parking pass on campus, chose spot on the top level of the parking garage and lived there for the next 2 years.

The weather in Pittsburgh was bad Being homeless forced me to take advantage of everything the campus had to offer since I wanted to spend as little time in my van as possible. I ended up spending most of my time throughout the week at the library and studying and reviewing classroom material a lot more than I would have if I had the luxury of going home and turning on the TV or falling asleep for hours in my room. I got close to some of my professors because of visiting them often, which really helped me become outstanding among my classmates. I made lot of new friends by attending social events, plays, charities, student life events around campus too.

Before college I would have considered myself shy, I didn’t really speak much unless spoken to, but I move out of my comfort zone and do new things, then develop an outgoing personality.

I really think that having to deal with the struggles that I had to go through really made me a better person.

When was the last time you went to your local library? Last week? A month ago? A year ago?

For many reasons, borrowing books from libraries seems to be in decline. With advances in technology, it is now possible for people to download and read whatever they like on electronic devices such as Kindles. It has been argued that doing this is cheaper than buying hard-copy books. They are also lightweight, making them ideal for travelling.

Call me old fashioned, but I’ve never got into the e-books: I like to have printed books lining my bookshelves; I love the smell of a new book; and I enjoy leafing through paper pages — as long as I avoid the paper cuts!

So, I prefer paper books, and I also prefer to own them myself. Libraries only lend books, so what use are they to someone like me, or to someone who only reads electronic books?

Personally, I still love libraries. They offer a quiet space to sit, read, think, do research…a real escape from the outside world. When I was at university, I frequently spent hours at the library and borrowed numerous journals, articles and other printed materials, as it was just too expensive to buy brand new books every week. Libraries are free!

Libraries often organize a series of interesting activities as well. My local library hosted actors, historians and other speakers during the town’s annual art and literature festival. Well-known authors are also invited to libraries to give speeches or lead discussions about their work. Events such as these are a great way to appeal to people of all ages in the community and encourage the use of libraries.

There are still many fantastic ways to use libraries — maybe we just need to be more awake to them!

1.What is the writer’s purpose of using question sentences in Paragraph 1?

A.To introduce the topic of the passage.

B.To make readers answer questions.

C.To give readers some advice.

D.To conduct a survey.

2.What can we know about e-books?

A.They are easy to buy.

B.They are cheap and easy to take.

C.They can be borrowed from libraries.

D.They are a waste of energy.

3.What does the underlined word “them” in Paragraph 4 refer to?

A.Libraries. B.E-books.

C.Paper books. D.Bookshelves.

4.What is the best title of the passage?

A.The end of the library?

B.The reasons for my loving libraries!

C.Which is better, e-books or paper books?

D.The last time of visiting your local library!
