About the library
There are people who work at the library who I can talk to. I will know who they are by their badges.

Sometimes it might be noisy. If it is noisy, I can talk to a librarian. I can ask to borrow ear defenders.

I will complete a form. I will write my name, address, date of birth, telephone number and email address and sign it.
I will show them identification. This can be a driving licence, bank statement or household bill.
The library staff will give me a library card and a PIN.
