W: Good morning, North College Library. How can I help you?
M: [1]I was wondering if it was possible to join the library.
W: Are you a student at North College?
M: No. I’m not, but someone told me it was possible to join, even if I wasn’t.
W: That’s right, it is. Are you over 18? That’s our minimum joining age.
M: Yes, I am.
W: That’s no problem then.
M: Could you tell me what I have to do to join?
W: Well, you’ll need to come in to the library and fill out some forms. You’ll also need to bring two passport photos with you. We also need two documents for ID, so a driving license would be fine.
M: I’ve got that and what else? A credit card?
W: No, it needs to have your address on it.
M: Shall I bring a bank statement, would that do?
W: That’ll be fine.
M: Good. Does it cost anything to join?
W: Well, [2]it’s free for students here but otherwise it’s ￡125 per year or ￡25 if you’ve got a current student card from another college.
M: [2]I was at Westerley College until last year but now I’ve got a job at Jefferson’s steel factory. Er, it’s more expensive than I thought. My local library is free.
W: But you’ll find they don’t have the range of reference books or facilities which we buy for our students. That’s why you have to pay to be an external member.
M: I see. How many books can I borrow?
W: [3] We allow twelve items borrowed at one time if you’re a student and that includes CDs, DVDs and videos. However, it’s only eight items for members of the public.
M: Fine. And how long can I have them for?
W: Well, you can have both fiction and reference books for four weeks which isn’t bad really.
M: And what happens if I return them late?
W: [4]Like all libraries there’s a fine system in place. The minimum fine is ￡1.5 but is can be much higher for some items—up to ￡5 per week. We’ll give you a booklet with all the details when you join.
M: OK Oh, by the way, another thing I was wondering about was if you ran any writing classes through the library?
W: We do, but you’ll have to speak to John Grantingham about that. He runs the creative writing classes.
M: Are the classes here at the library?
W: Yes, [5]he’s here on Thursday evenings, oh no sorry, Friday, he’s just changed it.
M: OK. Right, well that’s about all I need to know. Thank you. I’ll be along later this week to join. Thanks. Bye.
