Question

【題目】 Christine Reynolds worked at the public library in Yosemite National Park. When the government issued shutdown orders to slow the spread of the coronavirus(冠狀病毒), she loaded the back of her car with donated books and began her own mobile library.“I know this may not be conventional, and yet it has worked and I feel of use,”she said.

Across the United States，volunteers are reporting a jump in little free libraries as readers look to pass the time. Made of wood or brick，and placed in front of parks or in the trunk of a car， the libraries have seen their small spaces filled with books.

Around 1,000 people live in the Yosemite Valley，where entertainment options are limited and some residents say Christine Reynolds' mobile library and her friendly chats offer a needed break.“I live in a rural area，so the Internet is not a guarantee. The time that some people might fill with online services is not an option for me. I turn to books to fill that gap.” said Connor Timpone, who lives east of Yosemite Valley. “Books have been a bright spot for me.”

“The spaces also have transformed into a new purpose. Readers are leaving can goods and other needed items to assists fellow neighbors. The libraries allow neighbors to help one another without getting physically close,” said Greig Metzger, director of the nonprofit Little Free Library.

Since 2009，tens of thousands of little free libraries have sprung up in the United States and more than 100 countries. The small spaces operate by donation and through volunteers. Volunteers check the free libraries weekly, and the Selection is always different from the week before. Though the work Lakes much effort and time, it is rewarding.
