Three months after arrival and three ID cards now. The first one, of course, was the alien card. I got another one when I joined the multi-cultural center. And finally, the default one in every place I get to, the library card. My family are just crazy about books and libraries.
It was pretty easy how to get the library card: present the alien card, fill up the form, and have the librarian take a digital photo with the tiny camera and smile as you think of how many books you can access through this card. Happy Day!
I was able to get the card right away and even borrow the maximum 5 books that I could. Even checking out a book was a breeze. Oops! Not just one book, but more than that coz one doesn't have to write or register the books one by one. They just pile the books up and put them on a flat surface of the machine and voila! All the books are already checked out under your card. This was an improvement from seven years ago when I had to have the books bar-code-read on the machine one by one.
So where can I use this fancy library card? This card can also be used in other FIVE libraries in town. That is just awesome! I will have to find those other libraries in the future. ;)
So what is it like in the Children's Library? One thing that I can say for now is that it has quite a collection of various English children's books more than what I have seen in a general town library a few years back. This is really a children's library!
I will post more about the place after our next visit and maybe ask the librarian if its okay to take photos inside.
I will also find my way around the Korean children's books that I can possibly use to learn Korean. One of my goal is to be able to read and understand a Korean book soon. It will not be easy but resources, resources and will power!
