Our visit to the Library

I went to the Library yesterday.

The picture books are on the bottom shelf.

I can borrow a book from Desna.

She is the Librarian.

I like reading some picture books at the Library.

I have been learning about the library. I saw some Korean books in the ESOL box. I can borrow these books from the Librarian. I like to look at the picture books.
