When they went in, the children were amazed to see that there were thousands of books on the shelves. They noticed some children choosing books and others sitting quietly at tables reading.

Taylor recognised one of his friends and went over to speak to him. “Hello, Shawn,” he whispered. “Do you often come to the library?”

“Yes, I’ve been a member for two years. Would you like me to show you around?” Shawn offered.First Shawn showed Taylor and Michelle the fi ction section. “This part of the library contains

story books, poems and plays,” he told them. “It’s easy to fi nd the books you want because the authors’ names are in alphabetical order.”

Then he took them to the reference section. “This section contains informational books like encyclopaedias and manuals,” he said. “I use the books in this section to fi nd information for my school projects. I sometimes use the library computers as well to look things up on the

Internet.” He pointed out a bank of computers at the other end of the library.“Do you enjoy coming to the library?” Michelle asked.“Oh yes. I love spending time here. The thing I like best is Mrs. Webster’s library club. Mrs.

Webster is one of the librarians. We meet with her once a month to read stories and talk about our favourite books. Mrs. Webster recommends new books to us as well. At the moment we’re getting ready for the National Reading Competition next April.”

On the way out of the library, Taylor’s mother spoke to the librarian. “How can the children join the library?” she asked.

“To join the library they must fi ll out an application card. Then they will be allowed to take books out.”

“Do we have to pay anything?” asked Michelle.“No, you can borrow one book free of charge for two weeks at a time. If you return the

books late you will have to pay a fi ne.”“How soon can we start borrowing books?” asked Taylor.“If you fi ll out the form now, you can start taking books out right away.”
