c. There are people who check out your books and check them back in.

d. Then there are Librarians: plan story times, programs for kids and adults, help people find good books to read, and answer questions. *In fact there’s a desk in the library called the Information Desk and anytime you have a questions about where to find a book or where you can find information on something that’s where you go.

e. Librarians also make sure that only the best books are in the library. Can’t buy every book that’s ever been made so you have to pick the ones you think people will like the best.
