Question

[107]. Passage:

Public libraries in small towns are often judged by footfall and books issued, yet their quieter work matters more. A library gives a child with no study room at home a lit table, gives an elderly reader a newspaper and company, and gives a job-seeker a form, a photocopy and patient help. When libraries close, the loss is not only books; it is a free, non-commercial room where no one must buy anything to belong. A town that protects its library therefore protects equal access to reading, information and dignity, not merely a collection on shelves. Which inference about libraries is best supported by the passage?
