Learning at the Library

Dylan climbed the steps to the County


Library. Tall doors rose high above him, and he
gripped the metal handle and pulled one side
open. Warm air surrounded him as he stepped
inside.

The library was quiet. People worked at


small tables around the room. The librarian
typed at a computer on her desk.

Dylan looked at the rows and rows of


books. How would he ever find the books he needed for his school paper?
Mrs. Willis had assigned each student a different subject. Dylan’s subject was trees.
He needed to research trees, write a report about them, and give his references at
the end of the report.

The librarian could probably help. Dylan stepped to her desk.

“Can I help you?” she asked.

“I need to find books about trees,” he explained.

The librarian smiled. She stood. “Follow me and I can show you what to do.”

The lady led him to a small tablet that hung on the wall nearby. She
showed him how to tap on the search button and type in the subject of his
search.

She typed the word into the tablet. A moment later the screen showed
many books about trees. Next, she pointed to a set of numbers next to each
book on the screen.

“These are called numbers,” she said. “They will help you find the books on
the shelves.”

She showed him how each shelf had a set of numbers on it. She told him
to match the numbers of the book with the numbers on the shelves.

Soon Dylan had matched the numbers and he saw many books about
trees on the shelves. He chose a few that looked good for his project. He
pulled them from the shelf and found an empty table to sit.

Dylan looked at all the books. He used a notebook and pencil to take
notes. Soon he had lots of information for his report. He returned the books to
the shelf and walked home.

He had learned so much at the library, and this report was going to be
great. He could hardly wait until the next one!
