A library is a collection of books. If you have fifty or sixty books at home, this is your library. A library is also a building where there is a large collection of books. There are libraries for grown-ups and libraries for children.
We may take out three books at a time and keep them for two weeks. If we have not finished reading a book by the end of two weeks, we may go to the library and say that we want it for longer time.
There are many books at the library. For smaller children you can take fairy tales, books on geography, books on art, books on science. Some like to read travel books or adventure books.
