[2021.04.22.Thu] 입이 트이는 영어 Using the Library

[Speaking] Talk about How to Use the Library
I go to the library pretty often. Korea’s top library is the National Library of Korea, located in Seoul. It is home to about 10,000,000 books. The library has sections for the humanities, Natural Science, and Literature. There are also areas where you can read periodicals like magazines and newspapers.
The books at the National Library can’t be checked out off the premises, you can only read them within the library and return them when you leave. To make use of the National Library, you need a user’s pass. After you’ve visited a couple of time, you can be issued a long-term pass. The National Library is closed on the second and fourth Monday of each Month.
There is a limit to the possesions you can bring into the library. Laptops and writing utensils are allowed. All other personal belongings have to be left in the storage lockers before you enter.
