OK everyone. So here we are at the entrance to the town library. My name is Ann, and I'm the chief librarian here, and you'll usually find me at the desk just by the main entrance here. So I'd like to tell you a bit about the way the library is organised and what you'll find here. Well, as you see, my desk is just on your right as you go in, and opposite this the first room on your left has an excellent collection of reference books and is also a place where people can read or study peacefully. Just beyond the librarian's desk on the right is a room where we have up-to-date periodicals such as newspapers and magazines, and this room also has a photocopier in case you want to copy any of the articles. If you go straight on, you'll enter a large room and this is the main library area. There is fiction on the shelves on the left, and non-fiction materials on your right, and on the shelves on the far wall there is an excellent collection of books relating to local history. We're hoping to add a section on local tourist attractions too, later in the year. Through the far door in the library just past the fiction shelves is a seminar room, and that can be booked for meetings or talks. Then there's a large room to the right of the library area -- that's the multimedia collection, where you can borrow videos and DVDs and so on. And that's all about it. Does anyone have any quetions? |
