About the library

There are people who work at the library who I can talk to. I will know who they are by their badges.

The library is usually a quiet place where people talk quietly, relax and read books. Sometimes it might be noisy. If it is noisy, I can talk to a librarian.

How I become a member of the library

When I get to the library I will see a desk. I will talk to one of the library staff there about how to become a member of the library.
