A Visit to the Library
Read the passage, then answer the questions.
Mia goes to the library every Wednesday after school. The library is near the bus station, so she walks there with her brother Ben.
Inside, Mia returns two books at the front desk. Then she looks for a new book about animals. Ben likes books about space and planets. They usually read quietly for thirty minutes.
Before they leave, Mia uses a library computer to find information for her homework. Ben borrows a book about the Moon. They catch the number 7 bus home at five o’clock.
Mia likes the library because it is quiet, warm and full of interesting books.
