Computers and e-books are much more cost effective than traditional libraries. Even though the traditional methods of reading books are more preferable by some people, the maintenance cost of these are very high while that of e-books in computer is negligible as it is too low. For instance, the average monthly running cost of a library in a small town is around 2000 USD, which includes the salaries of employees, electricity and water bills, building rent etc. Therefore, using computers and e-books instead of using traditional library is good in terms of running costs.
