Public Library and Archive

A public library is a community institution that provides free access to books, digital resources, and information services to everyone. It offers a space for learning, research, and recreation. An archive, on the other hand, is a collection of historical documents, records, and materials preserved for research and reference. While libraries focus on current and general information, archives preserve unique, often rare or original materials that document the past. Both serve as important repositories of knowledge, supporting education, research, and cultural preservation.
