Hacer preguntas sobre nuestra comunidad

Una buena pregunta nos ayuda a aprender sobre nuestra comunidad. Podemos encontrar respuestas mirando libros, mapas y fotos, o preguntándole a las personas.

Ejemplo: Si quieres saber por qué la biblioteca cierra los domingos, podrías preguntarle a la bibliotecaria para averiguarlo.
