The word Library comes from the Greek words biblion (books) and teka (deposit or box) and public consultation especially students, researchers and lovers of reading.
The fundamental tasks that justify the existence of a library are to form the collection, organize it and put it into service. The objective of the library is to provide its users with access to the document as well as the access and location of the information.
In libraries it is possible to find books from any area of knowledge, made available to the public for consultation or loan. Users have large rooms, equipped with tables and chairs, and with the help of librarians (library staff).
Large libraries also have special departments such as the newspaper library (where magazines are kept and lent), as well as rooms or offices where the public can access photographs, videos, music records, computer disks, CDs, etc. Today, libraries offer information about their collections through the Internet.
All libraries provide us with resources to find a job or study, solve problems, satisfy information needs and enjoy reading. They can be divided according to what funds they have and to whom they are directed, they can be national, public, university, school, face-to-face and mobile.
The library is a space for study and consultation, in which we must be silent or speak quietly so as not to interfere with the work of others. Also, its books, services and facilities are useful for everyone, so we must take care of them and preserve them.
Libraries have a file, where they classify by subject and store in alphabetical order (by author or title) the catalog cards of all their books. Currently, this information file is located on the computers of these institutions to better facilitate the data.
The catalog file contains the name of the author, title and other information about the book, as well as the height or code that the library assigns to the book to facilitate its location.
