Libraries

The word “library” comes from the Latin word “liber”, meaning “book”.

This is a place where information in print (books, manuscripts, periodicals and musical scores) and in other forms is collected and arranged to serve people of all ages and interests.

Libraries appeared in ancient time in Egypt, Greece and Rome.

The library today is a centre for all kinds of communications: printed, pictured, recorded, and even electronically stored. People go to the library to read, look, listen, search, relax, discuss, learn, and think.

Libraries can be found in many places. There are libraries in small towns and large cities, and there are libraries in schools, universities, colleges.

The largest and the best known libraries in the world are: The British National Library in London, the Library of Congress in Washington and Russian State Library. Central Scientific Library is the largest one Ukraine in Kyiv. It was founded in 1919 as the Ukrainian National Library. Today the Central Scientific Library in Kyiv has got 10,000,000 books, and contains the richest collection of old Ukrainian books. Libraries are a real wealth of any country.
