   Borrowing Books at the Library

   A public library lets people borrow books for free. To borrow books, a person first needs a library card. Anyone who lives in the town can ask for one at the front desk.

   Next, the person picks out books from the shelves. Picture books are in the children's room. Chapter books are on the tall shelves nearby.

   Then the person brings the books to the desk. The librarian scans the card and each book. Most books can be kept for three weeks.

   When the time is up, the books go back to the library. People can drop them in a return box by the door, even at night. Later, a worker puts each book back in its place on the shelf.

   Libraries lend books so that many people can read the same books without buying them.
