+# Contribution Guidlines
+
+This library is the culmination of the expertise of many members of the open source community who have dedicated their time and hard work. The best way to ask for help or propose a new idea is to [create a new issue](https://github.com/arduino-libraries/LiquidCrystal/issues/new) while creating a Pull Request with your code changes allows you to share your own innovations with the rest of the community.
+
+The following are some guidelines to observe when creating issues or PRs:
+
+- Be friendly; it is important that we can all enjoy a safe space as we are all working on the same project and it is okay for people to have different ideas
+
+- [Use code blocks](https://github.com/adam-p/markdown-here/wiki/Markdown-Cheatsheet#code); it helps us help you when we can read your code! On that note also refrain from pasting more than 30 lines of code in a post, instead [create a gist](https://gist.github.com/) if you need to share large snippets
+
+- Use reasonable titles; refrain from using overly long or capitalized titles as they are usually annoying and do little to encourage others to help :smile:
+
+- Be detailed; refrain from mentioning code problems without sharing your source code and always give information regarding your board and version of the library

+# Liquid Crystal Library for Arduino
+
+## Description
+
+This library allows an Arduino board to control LiquidCrystal displays (LCDs) based on the Hitachi HD44780 (or a compatible) chipset, which is found on most text-based LCDs. The library works within either 4- or 8-bit mode (i.e. using 4 or 8 data lines in addition to the rs, enable, and, optionally, the rw control lines).
+
+## Installation
+
+![image](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/36513474/67681689-a5eee280-f9af-11e9-837d-350f8f0aebd0.png)
+
+### First Method
+
+1. In the Arduino IDE, navigate to Sketch > Include Library > Manage Libraries
+1. Then the Library Manager will open and you will find a list of libraries that are already installed or ready for installation.
+1. Then search for LiquidCrystal using the search bar.
+1. Click on the text area and then select the specific version and install it.
+
+### Second Method
+
+1. Navigate to the Releases page.
+1. Download the latest release.
+1. Extract the zip file
+1. In the Arduino IDE, navigate to Sketch > Include Library > Add .ZIP Library
+
+## Features
+
+- ### Easy to use
+
+    It is simple, basic and very easy to understand. The user only needs to import the library in his code and start using its functions.
+
+- ### Compatible chipset
+
+    ![image](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/36513474/67893895-4e03d780-fb79-11e9-814b-d8fa03689344.png)
+
+    Using Liquid Crystal library, Arduino board can control liquid displays based on the Hitachi HD44780 chipset. These chipset LCDs are easily available, come in different shapes and sizes.
+
+- ### No technical details required
+
+    A key benefit of using this liquid crystal library is that there is no need to care that much about the technical details or timings when using the display. The library happily does all of this.
+
+- ### Extendable
+
+    The library is extendable, therefore it can grow to support new LCD control devices such as I2C, SPI, Serial, 1wire, RF, CAM, etc.
+
+- ### Intuitive syntax
+
+    Liquid Crystal has a simple and intuitive syntax to handle variables and functions. The user only needs to import the library and calls its functions
+
+- ### Give back
+
+    Liquid Crystal is free for everyone. The licensed library can be copied, redistributed and used in the projects, assignments or anywhere.
+

+## Example
+
+There are many examples implemented where this library is used. You can find other examples from [Github-Liquid-Crystal](https://github.com/arduino-libraries/LiquidCrystal/tree/master/examples) and [Arduino-Reference](https://www.arduino.cc/en/Reference/LiquidCrystal). The following are the few examples of this library.
+
+### Blink
+
+This sketch prints "Hello World!" to the LCD and makes the cursor block blink.
+
+```C++
+#include <LiquidCrystal.h>
+
+const int rs = 12, en = 11, d4 = 5, d5 = 4, d6 = 3, d7 = 2;
+LiquidCrystal lcd(rs, en, d4, d5, d6, d7);
+
+void setup() {
+  lcd.begin(16, 2);
+  lcd.print("Hello World!");
+}
+
+void loop() {
+  lcd.noBlink();
+  delay(3000);
+  lcd.blink();
+  delay(3000);
+}
+```
+
+### Display
+
+This sketch prints "Hello World!" to the LCD and uses the display() and noDisplay() functions to turn on and off the display.
+
+```C++
+#include <LiquidCrystal.h>
+const int rs = 12, en = 11, d4 = 5, d5 = 4, d6 = 3, d7 = 2;
+LiquidCrystal lcd(rs, en, d4, d5, d6, d7);
+
+void setup() {
+  lcd.begin(16, 2);
+  lcd.print("Hello World!");
+}
+
+void loop() {
+  lcd.noDisplay();
+  delay(500);
+  lcd.display();
+  delay(500);
+}
+```
