  • Librarian
    Good morning, North College Library. How can I help you?
    Man
    I was wondering if it was possible to join the library.
    Librarian
    Are you a student at North College?
    Man
    No, I'm not, but someone told me it was possible to join, even if I wasn't.
    Librarian
    That's right, it is. Are you over 18? That's our minimum joining age.
    Man
    Yes, I am.
    Librarian
    That's no problem then.
    Man
    Could you tell me what I have to do to join?
    Librarian
    Well, you'll need to come in to the library and fill out some forms. You'll also need to bring two passport photosQ1 with you. We also need two documents for ID, so a driving licence would be fine.
    Man
    I've got that and what else? A credit card?
    Librarian
    No, it needs to have your address on it.
    Man
    Shall I bring a bank statementQ2,, would that do?
    Librarian
    That'll be fine.
    Man
    Good. Does it cost anything to join?
    Librarian
    Well, it's free for students here but otherwise it's £125Q3 per year or £25 if you've got a current student card from another college.
    Man
    I was at Westerly 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.
    Librarian
    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.
    Man
    I see. How many books can I borrow?
    Librarian
    We allow twelve items borrowed at any one time if you're a student, and that includes CDs, DVDs and videos. However, it's only eightQ4 items for members of the public.
    Man
    Fine. And how long can I have them for?
    Librarian
    Well, you can have both fiction and reference books for four weeks which isn't bad really.
    Man
    And what happens if I return them late?
    Librarian
    Like all libraries there's a fine system in place. The minimum fine is £1.50Q5 but it 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. You can always renew items if they're not required by anyone else by telephoning or logging on to our website.

    Man
    What about the computers? Can I use them free of charge?
    Librarian
    For college students it's free, but for external members like yourself, the first hour is free and then we make a nominal charge of £ 1 per hour thereafter.
    Man
    Do I have to book in advance for them?
    Librarian
    Oh, yes, it's advisable. Most people tend to book twenty-four hours in advance although sometimes you can get one with only six hours' notice.
    However, the earliest you can book a computer is forty-eightQ6 hours before you need it, and you can only book one hour at a time.
    If no-one else has booked the computer out, then you may be able to have another hour if you want. We have a wide range of databases, so the computers are in great demand.
    Man
    I'm thinking of doing some writing and I might need to access national newspapers. Do you have them on these databases?
    Librarian
    We do indeed. We've got all the big nationals, The Guardian and The Observer, The Independent and The Times and Sunday Times.
    We've also got all the local papersQ7 and a wide selection of magazines.
    Man
    Excellent. I assume you have photocopying facilities?
    Librarian
    Of course. 5p a sheet for both A4 and A3 black-and-white copies and 40p a sheet for colour.
    You can get a cardQ8 from the counter here - it doesn't take coins.
    Man
    OK. Oh by the way, another thing I was wondering about was if you ran any writing classes through the library?
    Librarian
    We do, but you'll have to speak to John Grantingham about that. He's our resident author. He runs the creative writing classes.
    Man
    John ... Grant .... Could you spell that for me please?
    Librarian
    Certainly.G-R-A-N-T-I-N-G-H-A-M.Q9
    Man
    Are the classes here at the library?
    Librarian
    Yes - he's here on Thursday evenings, oh no sorry, FridayQ10 - he's just changed it. You can contact him by emailing the library.
    Man
    Okay. Right, well that's about all I need to know. Thank you. I'll be along later this week to join. Thanks. Bye.
