This booklet offers an introduction, in clear language, to the resources available at a library. The authors explain that libraries lend people books, movies and music; offer programs; provide a space to study or read; and have computers available for patrons’ use.

The booklet includes information about the catalogue system; getting a library card; and borrowing and renewing books. There is also a game that allows the reader to match library-related words with their definitions.

While the booklet does contain specific information about Manitoba’s public libraries, much of the information is general and would apply to libraries anywhere.
