Peter:
Hello, I’m new in the area and I’d like to join the library please.
Will:
That’s no problem. Let me get an application form. Here we are. Now all we have to do is fill this in and then I’ll get you to sign and you’ll be a member.
Peter:
Now then. What’s your full name?
Peter:
Peter Adrian camden .
Will:
How do you spell Camden?
Peter:
Yes, that’s right.
Will:
Right, and what’s your address?
Peter:
flat 553 Green street , Finsbury.
Will:
Ok. Got that. That’s near here isn’t it?
Peter:
Yes, just 5 minutes walk.
Will:
What’s the post code?
Peter:
7424.. I..I mean, sorry, 7 4 3 4
Will:
Got that now. Now, can you tell me your date of birth?
Will:
And, what’s your telephone number?
Peter:
Well, I don’t have a home number but I’ve got a mobile.
Peter:
It’s o six six three four nine eight two seven four six . Did you get that?
Will:
Some of it. Can you say it again?
Peter:
The code’s 06634 and the number’s then 982 746
Will:
Right. That’s almost it. Now I need some kind of identification to prove where you live. Do you have a driving license or a passport or anything like that?
Peter:
I’m afraid that everything I have, has got my old address on it. Do you need it now?
Will:
No, not now, but you won’t be able to take anything out until we see that.
Peter:
Wait a minute. I’ve got a letter addressed to me here that arrived this morning. Will that do?
Will:
Oh yes. That’s a good idea. That will be fine. Let’s look. Ok. Well, that’s that finished.
Will:
Could I ask you a few questions? The Council that runs the library is running a survey to find out what kind of books people prefer so that they can direct their buying.
Will:
OK. So, what type of books do you like?
Peter:
Well, I’m very keen on mysteries . You know, when a detective is trying to find out who did the murder .
Peter:
Historical novels interest me too. Romance never! My sister loves them but they bore me to tears.
Peter:
I quite like books on animals too. I get them out sometimes. Not science fiction either. Too weird.
Will:
Well, I think that’s it then.
Peter:
Good. Oh, do you charge anything?
Will:
The library is free unless you want to rent out some of our videos or DVDs.
Will:
Well, we rent videos out for four dollars each and DVDs are six dollars . You must leave us a deposit for $60 of$60 as well. That’s returnable of course.
Peter:
I don’t think I’ll get any of those just yet. Can I pay later?
Will:
Sure, just give the money in when you’re ready to rent them out.
Peter:
Well thanks very much. You’ve been very helpful. I might take a book out now for the weekend, if that’s OK?
