When libraries host author talks or cultural festivals, nearby cafes and bookstores see increased foot traffic and sales.当图书馆举办作家讲座或文化节时，周边咖啡馆和书店的客流与销量都会增加。

Budget cuts to libraries often appear harmless, yet they quietly reduce opportunity, especially for low-income and immigrant families.图书馆预算削减看似无害，实则悄然削弱机会，尤其影响低收入和移民家庭。
