Library

Libraries are very important in our life. There are libraries in every town and village in our country. We must understand what riches we can find in them. We cannot buy all the books we want to read. That is why we can borrow books from libraries. If you want to take out books from a library, you should become its reader. But first of all you must learn the rules of the library. When you enter a library you can see long rows of shelves and in the library any reader can go round and choose what they want. We usually keep a book for a week or two before taking it back. If at the end of the fortnight you have not finished reading the book you may take it out again for another fortnight. F they do not have a boor you need out you may leave an order for it. The librarian will send you a postcard which tells you that the book is ready for you. The first library in my village was opened in 1951. The library is situated in the centre of the village. Vlasova O.P. was the fist librarian in our village library. There were about 4,000 books in the library. Saraykina E.D. works in the village library now. The library contains about 16,835 books now. People go to the library to read of borrow books or to, newspapers and magazines to read them at home. About 100 readers go to the library every year. There is a table in the room at which the librarian sits. She gives out about 2000 books a year. You can find new detectives, novels. Librarian also selects and purchases books and other materials, organizes materials so that you can easily them, answer questions the readers about facts, people, events or advises you how to find the information you need. Books play a great role in our life. Reading makes a man clever and wise. Love books, they are the source of knowledge and only knowledge can make us stronger and better.
