I prepared to go to work the following day. I worked as a librarian at the Moon Public Library (MPL). My work time varied from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Monday and Wednesday and 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. on other days. I had a day off only on Sunday.

I got used to being at my workplace a half-hour before my work hour began. I wanted to organize everything before the first visitor came. Like now, I tidied the books in the politics section. Then I picked some books from the visitors’ tables. I sorted them according to the book sections and placed them in the cart. Later, I pushed the cart and put each book back on its shelf.

I was responsible only for the book collections (the new books and express books) though the library also had DVDs, VCDs, VHSs, etc. The loan period for new books was two weeks, while it was a week for express books. If any borrowers exceeded the loan period by three days, I would email them to remind them to return
