play a very important role in my life. our family has got many books. all the members of our family buy books and read them. my mother says that books help us in our self-education. in ancient times books were written by hand. it was difficult to write a book with a pen. then printing came into our life. printing played an important role in the development of literature and culture. now there are a lot of books in the shops, there are many books in our homes. but it is expensive to buy all the books we want to read. that’s why we can read books in public libraries.
