Most libraries require you to register before you are allowed to borrow any of their materials. This means you will probably be asked to fill out and sign a registration card. When you do this, you are not only giving the library your name and address for their files, you are also signing an agreement. The agreement says, basically, that you will obey the rules of the library.
Once you are registered, you will be issued a library, or borrower’s card. Each time you check out, that is, officially borrow something from the library, you will have to present this card to the librarians.
You usually check out and return borrowed materials at the same desk. The library staff member at this desk will take your card and stamped the book card with a date. This is the date by which you are expected to return the materials to the library, so others can have the chance of borrowing it.
Some libraries charge a fine for each day a library book is overdue. T
