M: Excuse me, I was wondering if it was possible to join the library.
W: Are you a student in our college?
M: No, I’m not. But I heard that it was possible to join.
W: That’s right. The 18 years of age is the minimum joining age.
M: Yes, I am. Could you tell me what I have to do to join it?
W: Well, you need to fill out some forms. You will also need to bring two passport photos with you. We also need two documents for ID, so a driving license would be fine.
M: Good. Does it cost anything to join?
W: Well, it’s free for students here but otherwise it is 125 pounds per year or 25 pounds when you’ve got a current student card from another college.
M: I was at West College until last year, but now I’ve got a job. But it is too expensive.
W: But you will find more range of reference books or facilities which we bought for our students.
M: I see. How many books can I borrow?
W: We allow twelve items borrowed 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: And what happens if I return them late?
W: Like all libraries, there is a fine system in place. The minimum fine is 1.5 pounds but it can be much higher for some items up to 5 pounds. We will give you a booklet with all the details when you join.
