Example: Text K — Libraries reinvented (lines 1–8)
Public libraries are no longer simply places to borrow books. Many now lend tools, musical instruments and even laptops, and some run workshops on writing a CV. In Helsinki, the central library includes recording studios and 3D printers. Librarians argue that these services reach people who would never have walked in for a novel. Funding, however, remains a constant worry, as councils facing budget cuts often see libraries as an easy saving.
