Library is an important part of the growth of a smart village/town/city.
I am attaching a link to one of the way a large commercial space used by Walmart when abandoned has been renovated to house library, old books, reading spaces, internet kiosks, direct farmers fresh, freshly prepared local food.
When we have a space like this built through NRI funds or in remembrance of some elderly, we can utilize to build something similar.
It should have books, computers with internet access, reading tables, meeting place where old and young can come daily, fresh farmers produce where ladies/gents can walk in to buy fresh vegetables for the day, rent a book/video, meet with other community members, eat a dosa, drink sugarcane juice, and go home. Kids will not be addicted to a screen time, if there is a social place where they can go on their own, or with their mother/father/grand parents, and play with friends and as well as some reading done in library.
Library is important in opening once mind, especially kids and youth, in understanding the world and culture and can definitely take back something end of the day
