I write my phone number. The librarian types on a computer. She gives me a small blue card. "You can borrow ten books at a time," she says. I am happy. I look at the shelves. There are so many books. I do not know where to start. I pick a small novel. The librarian scans my new card and the book. "It is due in three weeks," she says. I say thank you. I walk home with my first book and my first library card.
