A library is a place with many books. Some rules help everybody. We use a quiet voice. We hold books gently. We ask the librarian if we need help. We put books back. We say please and thank you. When we borrow a book, we return it on time.

Excuse me. Can I borrow this book, please?

Yes, of course. Please bring it back on Sunday.

Thank you! I will return it.

Library role-play. Make a library corner with some books on a table. One child is the librarian. The others come in with a quiet voice, ask for a book, say please and thank you, and take it. After some minutes they return it. Swap roles.
