How to Use a Library
A)You’re driving your car home from work or sch001.And something goes
wron9.The engine stalls out at lights，holds back as you go to pass.It needs a
tune up and soon.Where do you go? The library.You can take out an auto repair
manual that tells step by step how to tune up your make and model.Or your tennis
game has fallen off.You’ve lost your touch at the net.Where do you go? The
library for a few books on improving your tennis form.
B)“The library!”you say.“That’s where my teacher sends me to dough
homework."Unfortunately, I’ve found that’s exactly the way many people feel.If
you’re among them.you’re denying yourself the easiest way to improve yourself,
enjoy yourself and even cope with life.My first suggestion for making the most
of your library is to do what I did，read and read and read.For pleasure——and for
understanding.
C)If it’s TV that keeps you from cultivating this delicious habit，I can
offer a sure remedy.Take home from the library a stack of books that might look
interestin9.Pile them on the TV set.Next time you are tempted to turn on a
program you really don’t want to see，reach for a book instead.
D)Over the years，people collect a mental list of books they mean to read.If
you don’t have such a list，here is the suggestion.Take from the library some of
the books you might have enjoyed dramatized on TV, like Remargue’s All Quiet on
the Western Front，Clavell’s Shegun，Tolkien’s The Hobbit，or Victor Hugo’s Les
Mise Rables.If you like what you read、you can follow up with other satisfying
books by the same authors.
E)Some people in their reading limit themselves to current talked—about
best sellers.Oh，what they miss! The library is full of yesterday’s best
sellers;and they still make compelling reading today. Some that I've
enjoyed：A.B.Guthrie’s The Big Sky，Carl Van Doren’s Benjamin Franklin，Mari
Sandoz’s.Old Jules，and Norman Mailer’s The Naked and the Dead.
F) How do you find these or any other books you’re looking for? It’s
easy—with the card catalog. Every time I go to the library——and I go more than
once a week——I invariably make a beeline to the card catalog before anything
else.It’s the nucleus of any public library.The card catalog lists every book in
the library by：1.author;2.title;3.subject.Let’s pick an interesting subject to
look up.I have always been fascinated by astronomy.You’ll be surprised at the
wealth of material you will find under “a strong my” to draw upon.And the
absorbing books you didn’t know existed on it.
CAUTION：Always have a pencil and paper when you use the card catal09.
G) Once you jot down the numbers of the books you are interested in，you are
ready to find them on the shelves.Libraries call the shelves “the stacks”.In
many smaller libraries，which you’ll be using，the stacks will be open for you to
browse.To me there is a special thrill in tracking down the books I want in the
stacks !For invariably,I find books about which I knew nothin9，and these often
turn out to be the very ones l need.You will find the same thing happening to
you when you start to browse in the stacks.“A learned mind is the end product of
browsing.”
CAUTION：If you take a book from the stack s to your work desk，do not try to
return it to its proper place.That’s work for the experts.If you replace it
incorrectly, the next seeker won’t be able to find it.
H)Some of the brightest and best.informed men and women in America are the
librarians who specialize in providing reference help.Introduce yourself State
your problem.And be amazed at how much he p you will receive.CAUTION：Don’t waste
the time of this expert by asking silly questions you ought to solve
yourself.Save the reference librarian for the really big ones.
I) You shot：ld also learn to use the Reader's Guide to Periodical
Literature.This green—bound index is me of the most useful items in any
library.It indexes all the articles in the major magazines，including newspaper
magazine supplements.Thus it provides a guide to the very latest expert
information of any subject that interests you.So if you want to do a really
first—class job，find out which magazines your library subscribes to，then consult
the Reader's Guide and track down recent articles on your subject.When you use
this wonderful tool effectively, you show the mark of a real scholar.
J) Since you can take most books home，but not magazines，take full notes
when using the latter. Many libraries today provide a reprographic machine that
can quickly copy pages you need from magazines and books.Ask about it：If you are
working on a project of some size which will require repeated library
visits，keep a small notebook in which you record the identification numbers of
the books you will be using frequently.This will save you valuable time，because
you won’t have to consult the card catalog or search aimlessly through the
stacks each time you visit for material you seek.Sol fie of the very best books
in any library are the reference books，which may not be taken home.Learn what
topics they cover and how best to use them，for these books are wonderful
repositories (储藏室、资料库)of human knowledge.
K) Your library can give you help on any subject.It can even be your
business and legal advisor.How many times have you scratched your head over how
to get a tax rebate(折扣)on your summer job? You，11 find guides to that.Want to
defend yourself in traffic coup? Find out how in legal books at the library.
L) Library Projects Can Be Fun and Rewardin9.Here are a few ideas：
1.What are your roots? Trace your ancestors.Many libraries specialize in
genealogy.
2.Did George Washington sleep nearby? Or Billy the Kid? Your library’s
collection of local history books can put you on the trail.
3.Cook a Polynesian feast.Or an ancient Roman banquet.Read how in the
library’s cook books.
4.Take up photography.Check the library for consumer reviews of cameras
before you buy.Take out books on lightin9，composition，or darkroom techniques
or—you name it!
M)If you haven，t detected by now my enthusiasm for libraries，let me offer
two personal notes.I'm particularly pleased that in recent years two beautiful
libraries have been named after me：a small community library in
Quakertown，Pennsylvania，and the huge research library located at the University
of Northern Colorado in Greeley.And I like libraries so much that I married a
librarian.
46.The nucleus of any public library is the car，d catalog.
47.Yesterday’s best sellers are still good for readin9，which shouldn’t be
overlooked.
48.The author suggests that people should go to the library for answers
when things go wrong
49.The Reader，s Guide is a green—bound index which provides a guide to very
latest expert information of any subject that interests readers.
50.The sure remedy to kick the TV habit is to take home from the library
interesting books to read.
51.There are various kinds of fun and rewarding projects available in
different libraries.
52.A notebook will help readers to record the identification numbers of the
frequently used books which can’t be taken home.
53.Readers should not try to return the book taken from the stacks to their
desk to its proper place.
54.When asking for help，readers are suggested not asking the reference
librarians silly questions they ought to solve themselves.
55.When asking for help，readers are suggested not asking the reference
librarians silly questions they ought to solve themselves.
46.The nucleus of any public library is the card
catalog.任何公共图书馆的核心都是卡片目录。
