The author believes that Winchester Township should close its smaller branch libraries to create one larger, and better stocked, library to better meet residents’ needs. This is because the town cannot afford to keep several of the smaller libraries well stocked, but could afford to do so if they had one larger library.

The author assumes that the selection of books available outweighs all other factors for meeting their residents’ needs. Perhaps a single location will make the library unavailable for many residents.

If anything, this strengthens the argument because it suggests that the residents would not really mind if the branch offices close.

Just because most residents have not complained about the selection of books, that does not undermine the reasoning that a larger selection would better meet the residents’ needs.

This directly calls out the author’s key assumption: that moving the library to a single location won’t have severe consequences. If the new location is not accessible, then it may not better meet residents’ needs.

This is pretty much implied in the stimulus. This argument is about the effectiveness of the plan, not the monetary cost

While this may explain why they have limited selections, it does not weaken the claim that having a single well-stocked library would better meet residents' needs.
