7 surprising ways the public library can help you save money

 

It's just a great way for kids to build confidence in their reading.
Nobody shushed them.
*beat around the bush 돌려서 말하다
We've been beating around the bush here a little bit.
You can also look for books on the displays that librarians put a lot of heart and thought into.
*put a hold on books 책을 예약하다
One - don't put a hold on 10 books at once if you can't read 10 books in the same checkout period. 
You're just stressing yourself out and blocking other people from reading the books for no reason.
Don't read them in the bathtub.
That's where most of the accidents happen.
Keep library books out of your bathroom in general.
*fine-free 벌금을 안내는
 Mychal's library is fine-free, and Akhila's library recently went that way too.
*empathetic 동정심, 이해심, 공감능력이 많은
They're the kindest, most empathetic people in the entire world.
*make one’s day ~를 기쁘게(행복하게) 하다
It would make their day to receive a letter from you.
Keep on yapping about the library.
For lack of a better word, annoy people with your enthusiasm for your local library.
There's good stuff you're missing out on.
You may be able to get one-on-one help with your job
Don't put a hold on more books than you can reasonably read at a time.
*query 묻다, 문의하다
Also, when you're at the door of the library, unsure where to start with a search or a query, ask a librarian.
We just want to welcome you to our space.
*cannot get enough 아무리 …해도 부족하다
And if you love LIFE KIT and you just cannot get enough.

 


To take advantage of these money-saving benefits, sign up for a library card, says Mychal Threets, the supervising librarian at the Fairfield Civic Center Library in Fairfield, Calif. Then check out the library website or simply walk into your local library and talk to a librarian.
