Read the paragraph from a writer's argument essay in support library funding.

“The Story Hour has been one of our most popular programs,” said Tomlinson. “Reading aloud helps bring literature to life for children, and I’m worried that without Story Hour, the kids will be getting more TV and less good literature.”

The paragraph provides support for the claim that library funding should not be cut because it provides important services to the community.

Which statement could the writer add to the paragraph to provide additional logical and relevant support for the claim?

Of all library programs, storytime is the most rewarding and fun for the staff.

Library storytime is a source of wonderful memories for children and adults alike.

Studies show that library storytime helps build early literacy skills like phonological awareness, spatial skills, and counting skills.

Some libraries have staff members who run their storytime program, while other libraries invite different interest groups in to lead storytime for a day.
