The Local Library

Good afternoon everyone. My name is Maria Thomas and today I will be talking about services you can find at your local library. My presentation is divided into two parts. First of all, I will talk about the things you can do there. After that I will talk about how to get the most out of your local library. Please feel free to ask questions at the end of the presentation. Now, let’s get started.

As you know, reading is very important for everyone. The local library is the ideal place where you find many of the books that interest you. You can make friends there as well. Reading is not the only thing you can do in the local library these days. You can also use any of the computers they have there. You can also job any of the activity groups they have. Young children can go and enjoy reading too. They can learn how to draw and do supervised activities. You can use the interent at your local library if you don’t have internet connection at your home or if your computer has decided not to work. We are lucky because we don’t have to pay any money to join the local library. There are friendly staff members who work there and they can help you with any question you have.

Now let’s move on to the second part of the presentation. It is clear that reading is one of the things we can do there. You can do short courses at the local library. If you lose your card, one of the people working there can help you get a new one. You may be asked to pay a few dollars for the service. You can borrow books, DVDs or even CDs if you go to the local library. You can borrow them online too. If you are late and not return them on time, you will be asked to pay a fine. Make sure you return items borrowed from the local library on time so others can enjoy them too. The library is an ideal place to enjoy quiet time. If your children are noisy or drive you mad any time, consider going to your local library.

It’s nearly time for me to finish the presentation. I would like to thank you for coming here today. Now if you have any questions, I will be happy to answer them.

Listen to your classmate and fill in the gaps:
