Audio Script
LIBRARIAN: Good morning, North College Library. How can I help you?
MAN: I was wondering if it was possible to join the library.
LIBRARIAN: Are you a student at North College?
MAN: No, I'm not, but someone told me it was possible to join, even if I wasn't.
LIBRARIAN: That's right, it is. Are you over 18? That's our minimum joining age.
MAN: Yes, I am.
LIBRARIAN: That's no problem then.
MAN: Could you tell me what I have to do to join?
LIBRARIAN: Well, you'll need to come in to the library and fill out some forms. You'll also need to bring
two passport photos with you. We also need two documents for ID, so a driving license would be fine.
MAN: I've got that and what else? A credit card?
LIBRARIAN: No, it needs to have your address on it.
MAN: Shall I bring a bank statement, would that do?
LIBRARIAN: That'll be fine.
MAN: Good. Does it cost anything to join?
LIBRARIAN: Well, it's free for students here but otherwise it's £140 per year or £25 if you've got a current student
card from another college.
MAN: I was at Westerly College until last year but now I've got a job at Jefferson's steel factory. Err, it's more
expensive than I thought. My local library is free.
LIBRARIAN: But you'll find they don't have the range of reference books or facilities which we buy for our students.
That's why you have to pay to be an external member.
MAN: I see. How many books can I borrow?
LIBRARIAN: We allow twelve items borrowed at any one time if you're a student, and that includes CDs, DVDs and
videos. However, it's only eight items for members of the public.
MAN: Fine. And how long can I have them for?
LIBRARIAN: Well, you can have both fiction and reference books for three weeks which isn't bad really.
MAN: And what happens if I return them late?
LIBRARIAN: Like all libraries there's a fine system in place. The minimum fine is £1.50 but it can be much higher
for some items - up to £5 per week. We'll give you a booklet with all the details when you join. You can
always renew items if they're not required by anyone else by telephoning or logging on to our website.
