Topic: Community Library Orientation


Narrator:
Good afternoon, everyone. Welcome to the Elmwood Community Library orientation session. I’m Jane, the librarian, and I’m here to give you an overview of the services and resources available to you. Our library is more than just a place to borrow books—it's a community hub designed to meet a variety of needs.

First, let’s talk about borrowing materials. As a library member, you can borrow up to ten items at a time. This includes books, DVDs, and even board games. The borrowing period for books is three weeks, while DVDs can be borrowed for one week. We also offer a selection of magazines, which you can borrow for one week. If you need more time, you can renew your items twice, either in person, over the phone, or through our website.

Next, I’d like to highlight our digital services. Members have access to our online catalog, where you can search for books, place holds, and check your account. We also offer e-books and audiobooks, which can be downloaded through our website. Additionally, the library provides access to several online databases, covering a wide range of topics from academic research to hobbyist guides.

For those interested in learning new skills, we offer various workshops throughout the year. Some of the popular ones include creative writing, basic computer skills, and gardening. We also host weekly book clubs, discussion groups, and guest speaker events. Be sure to check our event calendar on the website to stay updated on what’s coming up.

If you have children, you’ll be happy to know that we have a dedicated children’s section with a wide range of books, educational games, and activities. We also run a storytime session every Saturday morning at 10 a.m. for kids aged 3 to 7. It’s a great way for children to develop a love of reading from an early age.

Now, let’s talk about our study spaces. We have a quiet study area with individual desks, perfect for those who need to focus. For group work, we have two meeting rooms available. These rooms can be booked in advance for up to two hours at a time. We also have computers available for public use. You can book a computer for up to one hour per session.

Finally, I’d like to mention our volunteer program. The library is always looking for enthusiastic volunteers to help with various tasks, such as shelving books, assisting with events, and providing tech support to our members. If you’re interested in volunteering, please visit our website to fill out an application.

That’s the end of the orientation. Thank you for your attention. If you have any questions, feel free to ask. Otherwise, enjoy exploring what the Elmwood Community Library has to offer!
