Many libraries will let you bring these resources home but you need a library card. Generally, to get a card, you need to bring an identification document or a piece of mail that shows your name and address. At most libraries, you can borrow resources for 1 - 3 weeks. Usually, you can renew it (keep it longer). If you return an item late, you have to pay a small fine for every day the item is late. Many libraries have an inter-library loan service. This means that if there is an item you would like to read but it is not at your local branch, you can ask the library to send the item to your local branch. Libraries often have comfortable spaces where you can read or study. Many people go to the library to read their favourite newspaper or magazine.
