About the library
There are people who work at the library who I can talk to. They wear a lanyard like this one.
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.
Signing up to the library
When I get to the library I will see a desk.
Someone at the Hello desk will help you sign up.
They will take your details such as your name, date of birth, phone number and email.
You will also need to show some form of identifcation such as ID or passport.
You will then receive a library card.
Visiting the library
In the library there will be shelves of books, CDs and DVDs.
I can borrow a book, CD or DVD and take it home with me.
You can use the chairs provided to sit and read a book.
If you want to borrow a book, you can speak to a member of the library staff. They will be wearing lanyards like these.
The staff will show you how to borrow the book, CD or DVD and tell you when you need to bring it back to the library.
The library will also have some computers. The computers are free to use.
To use the computers I will need to reserve a time/wait for one to be available/talk to a member of staff.
The library also has a sensory area that you can use.
When you have finished, you can leave the library through the exit.
