3. Kara read that Tom Sawyer tricked the boys. What a good friend!" she remarked.

4. His friends none the wiser, Tom surveyed the results of his whitewashing.

Answer:

A library, it is a very wonderful place, filled with piles and piles of books. These books have many different varieties, some are encyclopedias, some novels, while some can even be fictional books. The books with less pictures are called novels while books providing us with information about a certain topic or in general anything you can imagine is called an encyclopedia, they are usually very thick and contain a whole lot of information. The books created with the imagination of a person is called a fictional books, such books tend to be imaginative, like something not real or unknown, or even a story of a normal man in some unidentified planet, basically it can be till the extent of your imagination. Libraries can also be important for finding our history by different manuscripts and texts, etc. Such libraries that contain only and only history are called archives, these achieves contain text giving information of maybe a dynasty or the developments of a small state. Hence, some libraries are very useful  to historians. Libraries also contain books of knowledge like subject books, and people preparing for their exams may refer these libraries.

Library is one such place where you can spend hours and hours without even getting a bit bored. The books of our choices in some libraries can be taken home with us. The best place to read books is undoubtedly a library. Some libraries may be small with about 200 books while others can range anywhere from 1000 to 5000 books. Now-a-days the amount of books and the authors who have written them are increasingly. It is only a myth that people will ever hate a library. The libraries are a rich source of information and for any research about some topics; are the best place to visit until the time internet came around, because after that the libraries lost their importance because everything could be found in the internet in the click of some simple buttons. Libraries have the same importance as museums do because like museums are known for their sculptures, paintings, etc., same way libraries are known for their books and manuscripts. In our modern world, there is a library in every block / colony / street. Even after the advancements and the availability of the internet, the good old libraries will never loose their importance.
