The public library is a place where the public can borrow materials such as books, magazines, videos, and music tapes, without cost. The materials are in English and other languages. In order to borrow these materials, you need to have a library card. A library card can be obtained free by showing something with your current address to library staff at the check-out desk. In the King County Library System in Washington State you can check-out books, audio tapes, and CD's for 28 days.
Most videos are due in ten days.
Magazines and newspapers are due in fourteen days. The way you find out what is in the library is through the library computer. If you know the name of the book or author, you can type it into the computer and find out where the item is located. You can also find information by typing in a subject you want to know more about. Ask the library staff to help you use the computers.
