Library is a room where an individual can read materials of his interest from sources like books, magazines and newspapers on various topics.
|
|
Most reading materials in the library are divided into three sections:
"fiction" (stories that are make-believe)
"non-fiction" (stories that are real)
"periodicals" (magazines and newspapers).
You can read the material at the library or you can check it out and read it at home.

If you're trying to find something specific, look in the computer catalog. The computer catalog keeps track of library materials by their titles, authors, subjects, and key words.
|
|
Most libraries have more than books, magazines, and newspapers. Many have books on tape, compact disks and video tapes. A lot of libraries even have computers so you can use the internet.

|
The circulation desk is where you check-out and return library books. You have to have a library card to check-out books. If you don't have a library card, ask for one at the circulation desk.
