analitical exposition - the importance of library

The Importance of Library

I personally believe that libraries are among humanity’s most important institutions for several reasons.
Firstly, most of humanity’s collective knowledge is stored in libraries. Secondly, libraries protect and preserve this knowledge. They also classify or group the materials into logical and easily available divisions.
Furthermore, libraries make the materials available to everyone and even provide librarians to help us find what we need.
         Finally, libraries are our link to the past and our gift to the future.
         From the facts above, I conclude that libraries are important institutions for humanity
