Read the passage without timing
The library’s new display shelf held books about rivers, not books about the sea. Ada chose only stories set near fresh water. A visitor offered a book about sailing across an ocean, but Ada saved it for a different display. She added a collection of poems about streams instead. The display would stay beside the entrance until the end of the month.
