Read the passage, then answer each question. Use details from the passage when a question asks for evidence.

Reading Passage: Libraries for a Connected Community

A public library can be much more than a place to borrow books. At many branches, visitors use computers, attend technology classes, and get help navigating online services. These resources matter especially in neighborhoods where reliable internet or a suitable device is difficult to afford. A library may provide a quiet workspace for a job application, access to an online health portal, or guidance on evaluating information found on the web. Some people assume that digital resources have made libraries unnecessary. In practice, technology has changed the work libraries do rather than erased the need for it. A computer alone cannot teach someone how to recognize a misleading website or protect personal information online. Librarians and community programs can help people build those skills. By pairing access to technology with instruction and knowledgeable support, libraries help more residents take part in a society where essential services increasingly operate online.
