There are three basic kinds of materials that can be found in any good library. First, there are books
on all subjects, both in English and in many other languages. These books are organized according
to subject, title, and author in a central file called the card catalog. Books can generally be checked
out of the library and taken home for a period of two or four weeks. Second, there are reference works,
which include encyclopedia, bibliographies, atlases, and so forth, and which generally must be used
in the library itself. Third, there are periodicals – magazines, newspapers, pamphlets – which are filed
alphabetically in racks, or which have been microfilmed to conserve space. Like reference works,
periodicals usually cannot be
removed from the library. In conclusion, big libraries have a variety of books.
