RE: Visiting The Teleki Téka (Teleki Library)

in Worldmappin2 years ago

Libraries are the treasury of nations and cultures, if you remember during WW2 the books were destroyed so that the knowledge, literature and wisdom of some of the authors were erased. The same were done in far past lost libraries. No matter how good the online source they never will be able to replace ordinary books.

I couldn't agree more.

Unfortunately the destruction did not happen just during WW2. My country was under communist domination from the ww2 till 1989 and the mass destruction that went on is hard t imagine, or restore.

Online sources are good when you want something quick, but an e-book will never replace a hard copy book.
