LIBRARIES

There are different kinds of libraries: public libraries ("public" means "for everybody"), children's libraries, school libraries, personal libraries, scientific libraries and even travelling libraries.

If you want to get books from a library, you subscribe to it. But first you must learn the library regulations.

We usually keep a book for a week or perhaps two before giving it back. If, by the end of the second week, you had not finished reading a book, you may reregister it for another two weeks. If the book you want is out, you may leave an order for it. The librarian will send you a postcard to inform you that the book is in.

Most public libraries have reading rooms and reference libraries. In, the reading room there are tables at which you can sit and read books, newspapers and magazines. In the reference library there are encyclopedias, dictionaries, atlases and many other reference books. These may not be taken out.

Secondary school pupils who are interested in foreign languages visit libraries to get books in English, French and other languages. They will find adapted books for each special class and books in the original.

I'm a great lover of books. I often make presents to my friends, but there is one present that I always like to make and receive, that is a book. It doesn't matter what kind of book it is. It can be a story-book, a book of poems or a book of plays. I get some books from the library. There is a very good library in the centre of our town and the librarian knows a lot about literature. She advises me to take this or that book. She always helps me to get the books I want.

But I buy a lot of books too, even those which I have already read. I like to have them in my home so that I can read them time and again (перечитувати). І like to sit in the room where my books are and even if I am not reading, I like to look at the books on my shelves and to feel that I have my friends round.

by Dickens.
Librarian: Did you read them in English or in Ukrainian?
Ann: I read them in Ukrainian in my childhood.

I didn't know English at that time. Librarian: Have you read any books by English writers in

the original?
Ann: No, I haven't.

Librarian: Then don't take any books by Dickens now.

They are too difficult for you. Take a book by Oscar

Wilde or Jack London. Their books are easier for

reading.

Ann: All right. Please show me some books by Oscar

Wilde. Librarian: I'm very sorry, but we haven't got any books by

Oscar Wilde at the moment. I advise you to take a

book by Jack London. Shall I get you "Martin Eden" or

"White Fang"?

Ann: Please give me "Martin Eden".

Librarian: Here it is.
