A large desk sits near the entrance of the library. This is where the librarian, Madam Donovan, usually sits, keeping an eye out over her domain, and its prominent placement makes it clear that students are welcome to approach her if they require assistance. You won't necessarily have to ask for help, however; a large tome on a nearby stand, full of extensive records of past teachers, prefects, awards, champions, and all kinds of events of the long history of Hogwarts, is often the first - and easiest - way to look for information. Feel free to consult it, but be mindful of its age. This book may not be removed from the library unless under the specific instruction from the librarian.
A further large collection of shelves, not unlike the others around the library, stretches out behind the librarian's desk. The books it holds make up the library reference section. A complete inventory of all the books in the library, they are not to be taken out of the room, but you are welcome to use them in here.
Remember, the librarian is nearby if you need help.
Madam Donovan looked up from her work, and despite feeling SO behind from her recent illness, smiled at the young students as they each approached her desk.

What polite students they were for a change. Or maybe she was just in a better mood for once.
"Yes, of course," she said, tapping her wand to the book before handing it back. "Due back in two weeks."

Glancing down at the next selection of books, Kimber tapped her wand on each, marking them for check-out, and slid them back across the table. "There you are," she said with a little nod.

How wonderful polite children were to have around. Straight forward and to the point... not a time waster in the bunch. 'So far,' she thought, hoping not to jinx herself.
She repeated the check-out procedure again and found herself still smiling as she handed the books back. "Will that be all?"
'Hello' said Salima out of breath, running from the common room to the library becuse she rememberd that she had to return her book. 'Sorry...if...I'm...late' Salima put the book on the desk and left the library. It was only until she reached the doors before she realised that it was due in two weeks, without turning back she rushed out of the library hidig her face.

Kimber just stood and STARED for a full minute, watching as the young girl ran in and then back out of the library. She shook her head, trying to remove the 'WHUTT?!' expression from her face. Then calmly tapped the returned book with her wand, sending it on it's way back to the proper shelf. 'Weird,' she mumbled under her breath.
