“SYNOPSIS”








                  The  text  argues  against  replacing  public
                  libraries  with  tablets  and  e-reader
                  subscriptions.  Proponents  of  the  idea
                  believe it would save money and increase
                  reading  by  providing  easy  access  to
                  digital   books.    However,      the    text
                  highlights  several  drawbacks.  It  states
                  that  reading  on  tablets  leads  to  slower
                  reading, less retention, and more health
                  problems  such  as  eye  strain  and
                  headaches  compared  to  reading  print
                  media.    Furthermore,      libraries   offer
                  essential  services  beyond  book  lending,
                  including quiet study spaces, community
                  events,  educational  classes,  and  social
                  connections,  which  would  be  lost  if
                  libraries  were  replaced  by  tablets.  Thus,
                  the  text  concludes  that  libraries  are
                  irreplaceable  and  vital  to  community
                  well-being.
