An online library

1.

Imagine that you are preparing a project with your friend. You have found some interesting material for the
presentation and you want to read this text to your friend. You have 1.5 minutes to read the text silently, then be ready
to read it out loud. You will not have more than 1.5 minutes to read it.
An online library is open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. No longer
do you have to head online to check library hours or try to rush that book
back before the due date; with an online library, you get 24/7 access to your
favorite titles, all from the comfort of your own home (or the coffee shop,
wherever you happen to be browsing from).
An online library can be accessed anywhere in the world by anyone
with a computer. Patrons of an online library aren't confined to a set
geographical area, which means that the library can serve countless more
people - basically, anyone who has a computer, Internet access and the
correct Uniform Resource Locator for the online library can take advantage
of its many offerings.
Books in an online library can be checked out by multiple users at
the same time. Say goodbye to wait lists on popular titles; with an online
library, digital copies of today's hottest books can be checked out by
numerous people at once. No lines, no waiting, just a few clicks and you're
reading the book you've been dying to check out.
