Library

　　There is a public library in every town in the United States. Most of them are tall buildings with so many large bright rooms. Anyone may borrow books. In some places you may borrow as many books as you need, but in others you are limited（限制）to a certain number of books including novels. You may keep the books you have borrowed for several weeks.

　　The latest novels are always in great demand（要求）, and nonfiction（散文文学）books, for example, books on history, driving, science and gardening are also very popular.

　　If the book you want is out, you may ask for it to be kept for you, and if you pay the cost of sending a postcard, the librarian will let you know when the book has been returned and is ready for you.

　　Most public libraries also have a reading room and a reference（参考）library. In the reading room there are tables and desks at which you can sit and read the daily newspapers and all the other important periodicals（期刊）: weeklies, monthlies and quarterlies. But you should take good care of your eyesight（视力）.

　　In the reference library there are encyclopaedias（百科全书）, dictionaries, atlases（地图册）and other useful books. But you can only use these books, you can't take them out.
