What makes a public library valuable to the place it serves?

This is the opening. The next four levels build the rest of the essay on top of it.

A library is easy to describe as a building full of books, and easy to defend on that basis until someone points out that most of those books are available elsewhere, often faster. The buildings that thrive anyway are doing something the description misses.

Notes on this level

What this level is training

This level does not introduce a new key. It drills the left pinky, right pinky, right thumb, right ring, right middle, left index, right index, left ring, left middle fingers on keys you have already met, at a target of 48 words per minute and 96.5% accuracy.

Speed at this stage comes from removing hesitation rather than from moving faster. If your accuracy is above the target but your speed is not, the gap is almost always time spent deciding, not time spent pressing.

Most difficulty at this stage is technique rather than effort. These explain the technique.
