It does not matter if you are running a business, want to obtain information regarding something or you want to express your thoughts, you do not have to physically do that. The recent developments in the technology has removed the distances and people are able to access things that are available far away from their location and that too with the help of just few clicks.

Now, setting up a library does not require much effort and one can easily do that on the internet.
