1.4 Social Interaction in Physical Libraries People view public libraries as a place to store resources and information; consequently, it is very significant to discover other ways to increase their impact on society and improve their response to user needs (Johnson, where All Are Welcome: Social Capital and the Public Library as a Community Meeting Place). Creating a place where people can meet and interact could be very helpful in building a social environment. (Leckie & Hopkins, 2002) indicated that public libraries can be an ideal place where informal social interactions can occur, because community members of different ethnicities, ages and economic backgrounds can meet, interact and work together for the greater good than their communities. Furthermore, (Jeffrey, 2008) questioned whether non-traditional library services such as info commons, social spaces, and cafés are adding to or detracting from the community spirit of academic libraries. The traditional academic library is not just a warehouse of books, but rather is a social place where people can interact and exchange knowledge. (Vårheim, 2009) found that public libraries can serve as social meeting places as well as an information medium. Public libraries also contribute to building trust between people as a result of the learning process which generally builds trust towards people (Audunson et al., 2007; Va ̊rheim 2007, b; Va ̊rheim et al., 2008). No researcher can argue that understanding the role of libraries within the community and considering the public library as a physical place of information and also a social place can be extremely beneficial in terms of satisfying users' needs (Karen, 2007). Karen also noted that although librarians are aware of the social importance…of the paper medium…d of annotations; and generate more vocabulary instruction (Cunningham et al, 2013). The process of building a digital library must be carefully studied so as not to erase the indispensable characteristics of current physical libraries. Many DL proposals remove social interaction and exchange and focus exclusively on the technical mechanisms of searching and accessing information. This is totally unnecessary because we could provide effective mechanisms for social interaction and exchange within the system. In conclusion, we must not remove the social world from these systems (Acerman, 1994), because the social world has crucial elements including the sense of community that we certainly do not want to lose. Additionally, social interaction provides an enjoyable community-building function. Furthermore, social mechanisms are very useful for accessing information.
