I. INTRODUCTION

Titans Public Library. The word Titans after Greek mythology meaning influential in a certain field.
Library is Titan of knowledge, that’s the meaning of our library.

Libraries serve as access points to the entire world's knowledge. And, as information-storage devices
and formats evolve, librarians ensure that knowledge is recorded and saved for the future. Libraries
provide services and products that help to level the playing field in terms of intellectual competition.
That is, they enable people of all income levels and backgrounds to gain access to high-quality
information, use computers, and borrow items.

Libraries ensure that knowledge and technology are accessible to all people, not just those who can
afford their own. This is more than just charitable work, it also contributes to society's overall
education levels.

Real research entails much more than simply typing a few words into a search engine like Google.
Scientists, doctors, lawyers, professors, writers, government officials, and other important

there to help them.
