Question

What do the students think about libraries? Read the dialogue and decide whether the following sentences are true. A: Libraries are the best place to study! B: Why? A: Because they are quiet and lack distractions. B: But I can read a book at home, it’s also quiet there. A: I’m afraid you don’t understand me. Look, library collections and services are for people who choose not to — or cannot afford to — purchase an extensive collection themselves, who need material no individual can reasonably be expected to have, or who require professional assistance with their research. B: I know very few libraries in Saint-Petersburg. A: Hope you’ve heard about The National Library of Russia in our city.It’s one of the world's largest libraries, it possesses the most complete collection of publications in Russian and publications in languages of the Russian Federation printed in different countries of the world. It’s the place I often go to as I know I’ll always get access to information in many formats and from many sources. Just imagine, now the National Library of Russia houses more than 35 000 000 items, of which nearly 6 million items are in foreign languages.
