Normal

Mom took me to the library on Saturday. I had never been before. The library was big and quiet. A lady at the desk said I could get a card. I got my first library card. It had my name on it. I went to the children's section. I picked three books. One was about dinosaurs. One was about a bear. One was about a train. I took them home. I read the dinosaur book before bed. I have to take the books back in two weeks. I will get more then.
