12. Read the text closely to yourself.
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.
