Could you tell me where our library is?
It's in the building next to ours.
Is it the big white one?
Yes, a great number of books are kept in the library. It has books in Chinese, English, Russian, German, French and many other languages.
Are there any reading rooms in the building?
Of course. How can it be a library without reading rooms? There are quite a number of reading rooms with newspapers and magazines in them on the first and second floors.
When is it open?
It is open every day except Sunday.
I see. Library is always a busy place. I want to borrow an English hook. I hear 'The Adventures of Tom Sawyer' is very interesting. Have you read it?
Yes, I enjoyed it very much. It's worth reading.
I wonder if you could tell me how to look it up in the card catalogue?
Certainly. It is written by Mark Twain. So you can either look it up under 'A' for the writer, or 'T' for the title.
Thank you for your great help to me. How long can I keep it?
You're welcome. You can keep it for two weeks. When it is due, it should be returned.
