EmilyExcuse me, I'm looking for books on European history. Can you help me?
ChrisOf course! Are you looking for anything specific in European history?
EmilyI'm particularly interested in the Renaissance period.
ChrisGreat. You'll find books on the Renaissance in the history section, aisle B. I can show you where it is.
EmilyThat would be great, thank you! Also, do you have any journals or articles on this topic?
ChrisYes, we do. We have a range of academic journals in the reading room, and you can also access online databases using our library computers.
EmilyThat’s very helpful. Do I need a library card to access these resources?
ChrisFor physical books and journals, no. But for online resources, you'll need to register for a library card. It's free and you can sign up right now if you like.
EmilyYes, please. I would like to sign up for a library card.
ChrisNo problem. I'll need some ID and proof of address. The card will give you access to all our resources and you can also borrow books for up to three weeks.
EmilyHere's my ID and a utility bill for proof of address.
ChrisThank you. I'll process this for you now. Here's your library card. Let me show you to the history section and the reading room.
EmilyPerfect, thank you so much for your help.
ChrisMy pleasure. Let me know if there's anything else you need. Happy reading!
