Library
A library is a collection of sources of information and similar resources, made
accessible to a defined community for reference.
A public library is a library that is accessible by the general public and is
generally funded from public sources, such as taxes. It is operated by librarians and
library paraprofessionals, who are also civil servants.
There are five fundamental characteristics shared by public libraries. The first is
that they are generally supported by taxes (usually local, though any level of
government can and may contribute); they are governed by a board to serve the
public interest; they are open to all, and every community member can access the
collection; they are entirely voluntary in that no one is ever forced to use the
services provided; and they provide basic services without charge.
