Q1 Which is better, paper books or e-books?

Ans- I think both paper books and e-books have their own benefits. So I wouldn't say one is always better. It depends where and how you're reading. For example, paper books feel more real. You can hold them, flip the pages, and it's often easier on the eyes. They also don't need charging, so you can read them anytime. On the other hand, e-books are super convenient. You can carry hundreds of books in one device, which is perfect if you travel a lot. They usually have a built-in dictionary and search function too, which makes reading easier. For me, paper books feel more relaxing because there are no notifications or distractions, but e-books are definitely more practical when I'm on the go.

Q2 What should the government do to make libraries better?

Ans- I think governments could do quite a lot to make libraries better. First of all, they should modernize the facilities... things like comfortable seating, good lighting, and free Wi-Fi. Libraries aren't just about paper books anymore, so having e-books, audiobooks, and online journals would make them more useful. I also think events are important. Book clubs, talks, or even workshops can attract people who wouldn't normally go there. Families would come more often if there were storytelling hours or spaces for kids. Another thing is longer opening hours, because many people can only visit after work or school. And of course, the buildings themselves need to be updated and accessible for everyone. So overall, if governments put more funding into libraries and made them more modern and community-focused, people would actually want to spend time there, not just run in to borrow a book.
