Review the claim joshua makes, as well as the reasoning he cites to support it. the funding of the public library should be protected because the library offers important programs and services that benefit the whole community. the most important effects of the library cuts will not be limited to children, senior citizens, or other specific groups. is joshua's reasoning sound? yes, joshua's reasoning is sound because it can be proven through research and statistics that many different types of people use the library's services. yes, joshua's reasoning is sound because he himself is not a child or senior citizen, and he uses the library's services. no, joshua's reasoning is not sound because he hasn't asked every member of the community whether they use library services. no, joshua's reasoning is not sound because sarah tomlinson is not an expert on library funding.
