Reading

Read the paragraph, then answer the three questions.

When the town library announced it would stay open until midnight during exam week, few people expected students to come. The first night, eleven showed up. By Thursday, the librarians had run out of chairs and were carrying folding tables up from the basement. Head librarian Rosa Ibarra said the late hours cost the library very little, since volunteers covered most of the shifts. What surprised her most was not the crowd but the quiet. "I thought we would spend the night shushing people," she said. "Instead, they shushed each other." The library now plans to repeat the late hours every exam season.
