A student has researched public libraries and compiled the following notes:
- Public libraries allow community members to borrow books for free.
- Many libraries also offer free internet access and computer use.
- Libraries often host community events such as author talks and children's story time.
- Library funding usually comes from local government budgets.

The student wants to highlight a specific service libraries provide beyond lending books. Which choice most effectively uses relevant information from the notes to accomplish this goal?

Answer and explanation

Answer: D: Many libraries also offer free internet access and computer use.

The goal specifically asks for a service beyond book lending, and D names a concrete additional service, internet and computer access. A describes the book-lending service the goal asks to move beyond. C describes funding, not a service to patrons. B is unsupported background information not found in the notes.
