A student is developing a claim about federal funding for public libraries. Which of these claims is fair?

People in our community don’t use our public library as much as they should because the equipment is old and there is no money to replace it.

The average annual operating expenses for a library in the United States is $765,715, which has increased by 17 percent in the last ten years.

Everybody seems to think that libraries are dying, but it’s not true because they’re being used more than ever, and this is why they need increased federal funding.

With increased federal funding, libraries in the United States can continue to support the needs of millions of people and their communities.
