Books provide portals to new worlds and perspectives, lifelong companions, and means to learn without judgment. They expose readers to new ideas and introduce them to people throughout history. Reading books can take one on adventures, help discover one's identity, and feel part of something larger. Libraries, bookstores, thrift stores, and e-readers offer access to books, which show more details than movies and offer journeys of self-discovery and learning.
