How to Find a Book in the Library by Linda and Marie
First, you need to know the title of the book you are looking for or the name of the author of the book. You should have a library card because it gives you access to take a book out and you can find a book on any computer. You will see where it says to log in. Then you can enter your ID card to find now a book you need. You can also use a catalog only computer. It’s the easy way to do that.
Second, after you log in, you will see where it says catalog just press it. You will see a window pops up where you can enter information like the title, author or subject of a book. If you don’t know how to find a book on computer, you can ask front desk how to use it. They can show you what to do and to find a book on computer.
Third, You need to have a book’s number, which is called the book call number. When you get all the information in your hands, then you can go on books stacks to find a book. You must follow your book’s call number. For example, if you have a book number as p 614, you need to get the same number of book. If you are having trouble to find a book, don’t get scared to ask one of library staff. They can help you.
Fourth, what I want to say is to keep this book neat. Try to return it on time.
