It’s a rainy spring morning in May, but a steady flow of people from various age groups and cultural backgrounds could already be seen going in and out of the Ioe Fortes Branch of the Vancouver Public Library on Denman Street. One such regular of this branch is Richard Bisson, who lives just across the street. Convenience is a key for the retired court interpreter, as well as access to a wide variety of books in English, French and German.
Still, other community engagement plans involve programs aimed at getting youth to read more and use the library. At the Renfrew Branch, which is close to residential areas and surrounded by a beautiful park, the library partnered with the Renfrew Community Centre to design a camp for teens last year. This year, they’re focusing on elementary kids, with similar programs such as the summer reading club.
Susan Everall, Neighbourhood Services Manager for the Vancouver Public Library, believes that libraries are social, educational and recreational places, where everybody has access.
“A lot of people come in with their laptops, and they spend hours in the library and it’s not necessarily because they don’t have Intemet access at home. Sometimes it’s just due to the social feeling,” Everall says.
When it comes to smaller community branches, Everall suggests that some people prefer the smaller space, where they don't feel overwhelmed.
And just like going to your neighbourhood grocery store, Everall believes that community libraries also provide a sense of familiarity, where friends and neighbours can bump into each other.
For a regular like Bisson, the library is a place that keeps us informed because reading shapes our ideas, our culture and our way of thinking. Although he doesn’t participate in library events, he thinks that the Joe Fortes Branch serves the community well, and he’s happy if it provides events for the community.
32．From Paragraph 2 we can know the programs this year is . A．founded by Richard Bisson B．surrounded by residential buildings
C．designing summer activities for primary children
D．planning summer camps with the Renfrew Community Centre
33．According to Everall, many people take their laptops to libraries probably because . A．they want to be around people B．they want to save some money
C．they don’t want to lose their laptops D．none of them have Internet access at home
34．The Joe Fortes Branch is different from common public libraries in that . A．it was set up for youth living nearby B．it often organizes reading activities C．it makes people feel overwhelmed D．it creates a family atmosphere
35．What’s the author’s purpose of writing this passage? A．To introduce community libraries and their advantages. B．To make the Joe Fortes Branch known to more people. C．To encourage people to visit libraries in their free time. D．To show differences between public and communitv libraries.
