When is the library open?
It is open every day from 8:30AM to 10PM,but for everyday except Sunday.
How many books can I borrow at a time?
You can borrow up to 10 books. And you can also borrow magzines or periodicals that are on the third floor. Newspapers I'm afraid can't be taken out.
Oh,do you have a record library?
Yes,we do. You can take out 2 records at a time. But you have to pay a deposit of 5 dollars in case you damage them. We also have everything available on cassette.
I see. Thank you. Could you show me where your literature section is,please?
Yes,it's just over there on your right. If there is any particular book you want,you can use the computer to find its call number.
Thank you. Oh,by the way,how long am I allowed to keep the books for?
For one month. After that you must renew the books if you wish to keep them longer. Otherwise we'll charge 10 cents a day for each book.
And if I want to keep them longer can I renew them now?
I'm afraid not. You must do that at the end of the month.
I'd like to borrow these books,but I couldn't find them in the stacks.
Wait a minute,I'll find them for you.
Thank you!
This one has been checked out and it's due back in about a week. Do you want to reserve it?
I'm sorry. I don't know what you mean.
It means that we'll let you know that the book comes in as soon as it returns and it will not be lent to others.
That's a good idea! How would you let me know?
We have a record here. And we'll notice you by telephone as soon it comes in.
That's great! |
