The two pieces of evidence that the student should include when developing their claim that libraries in the United States should receive more federal funding are:
-
The roles of libraries have become broader in recent decades, serving larger roles in the communities where they are found.
-
Libraries are the only source of internet access for millions of low-income people in underserved communities.
These points emphasize the increasing importance of libraries in modern society and their vital role in providing resources and support to communities, especially those in need.
