ห้องสมุด

Welcome to the neighborhood! Getting a library card is free. I just need a photo ID and proof of your current address — a utility bill, lease, or a piece of official mail will work. It only takes a few minutes.

With a standard card, you can check out up to 25 items at a time — that includes books, DVDs, audiobooks, and magazines. Books can be borrowed for 3 weeks, and you can renew them twice online. DVDs are 1 week, no renewal. Late fees are 25 cents per day per item.

Of course! You can search our catalog on any of the computers over there, or on our website and app. American history books are in the 973 section — second floor, third aisle on the left. I can also recommend a few popular titles if you'd like.

We do have a foreign language section on the first floor, and there's a small Chinese collection. We also have ESL materials — English as a Second Language — with bilingual resources and graded readers. If we don't have what you need, I can request it from another branch through interlibrary loan. It usually takes about a week.

Yes! We have four study rooms — two individual and two group rooms that seat up to six people. You can book them online for up to 2 hours per day. There's also a quiet reading room on the third floor if you just need a place to study without reserving.

You're welcome! Don't forget we also have free community events — book clubs, movie nights, and language exchange meetups. Check the bulletin board by the entrance or our events page online. Happy reading!

Let me scan them and check. ...Yes, this novel was due last Friday, so it's 4 days overdue. That's a dollar in late fees. The other two are fine — you're returning them on time. Would you like to pay the fee now?

Just log into your account on our website or app, go to 'My Checkouts,' and click 'Renew' next to the item. You can renew up to two times as long as nobody else has placed a hold on it. You'll get an email reminder 3 days before any book is due.

Yes, we have public printers. Black and white is 10 cents per page, and color is 50 cents per page. You can print from your phone — just connect to our library Wi-Fi, go to print.library.org, and upload your file. Choose the printer nearest to you and pick up your pages at the print station.

The copier is right next to the printer — same pricing, 10 cents for black and white. It also has a scan-to-email feature if you'd rather get a digital copy. That's free. Just put the book face down, select your option, and follow the prompts.

We're open Monday through Thursday 9 AM to 9 PM, Friday and Saturday 9 AM to 6 PM, and Sunday 1 PM to 5 PM. The study rooms are available during all open hours but book up fast on weekends — I'd reserve yours a day or two ahead.

Anytime! That's what we're here for. See you this weekend!
