“Reading is to the mind as exercise is to the body”
-Richard Steele.
We have always been told to, right from our childhood that reading is a habit that is fundamental to our personal and intellectual growth, and very rightly so. What we don’t realize is that reading is not an activity, but a habit that we need to keep following throughout our life. To quote Tyrion Lannister from the TV show, Game Of Thrones, ”The mind needs books like the sword needs a whetstone”.
The society as a whole has begun realizing recently, the virtue of gaining knowledge through reading. There have been an explosion of interesting and differently themed bookshops & residential libraries that have sprung up in and around many cities. Long gone are the times when libraries used to belong to nerds and geeks. As a result, the people taking up residential library memberships are on the increase rapidly.
The working section of our society spends around 7-10 hours each day at their respective workplaces. This means that they spend roughly about 30% of their yearly lives in their respective workplaces. Due to the same reason, we know that the effort companies put in to make their premises employee friendly and interesting have exponential increased (& exciting) . One way they can do it is to install a well-equipped and stacked library within the company office.I believe that the internal success of a company hinges on its total expenditure on personal improvement techniques and methods. This includes stacking it’s well-built library with good books & Online Book Rental Library. Many book enthusiasts face a lack of reading material once they complete their education. This needs to be solved, big time!
Lastly,having libraries within the company premises can double as a place of mental escape for some and also it serves as a hiding place as well, if we need to avoid an unpleasant encounter with someone!
