The error is related to the possessive form of 'library'. The word 'libraries' should be in possessive form 'library's' to indicate that the computers belong to the library. This is not a past tense issue but a possessive noun error, which is not listed in the provided grammar problem types. However, since the instruction is to correct only mistakes that meet the listed types, and none of the types directly cover possessive nouns, this correction is necessary for clarity but does not fall under the given types. The sentence is otherwise correct in past tense usage.

The word 'Easier' is incorrectly used as an adjective here. It does not make sense to describe 'Libraries' as 'Easier'. Possibly, the intended meaning was 'Easier access to libraries' or 'Libraries are easier to access'. Since 'Easier' is an incorrect adjective usage in this context, it should be removed to correct the sentence. This fits under the 'Incorrect use of adjectives or adverbs' category.
