my voluntary work at nanjing library

At 29th january 2009,I went to Nanjing Library to be a voluntary worker for a whole day,about 8 hours.I took bus there and arrived the library's north gate at 9:00a.m,I had been waitted there for about 20 minutes,because Nanjing Library's open hour is at 9:30a.m,when I went into the library,i started to find the library's information counter,i asked some readers in the library and an old man told me at last.after i found the information counter,i asked the staff member:i am a student from Nanjing froeign language school,i want to be a volunteer ,can you introduce a work for me?then she called someone and told me to go to the second floor,after i got the reading room at the second floor,a woman staff member received me and explained my work to me,i should sit beside the door as a gatekeeper,i need to teach the person who don't know how to swipe their reading card,if the readers want to come into the reading room, they need to swipe their card on a magnetic card reading machine,it's easy,but some people would forget to use their card's bar code,especially the old people, during my work time, i tought at least 20 elderly.at the same time,i also need to someone who bring something that the reading room don't allow,such as drinks,food,bottle,big bag and the books that don't belong to the reading room.By the way,the reading card has many kinds,different kind of cards have different colour,just the yellow reading card can be allowed to use in the second floor.i started my work at 9:40a.m,i had been vert excited,this is my first time to work in a public place,i had been a worker nothing but i can't earn money.the frist reader is a young man with a plastic bag,after he swipe his reading card,i found he had a bottle in his bag,i told hin that he can't bring the bottle into the reading room,he is very polite and he did the thing that i told to him,most of the day's readers are like him,but there are still someone didn't match up my work,sunch like a middle aged woman,when i told her that she can't bring the water into the reading room, she looked very ungry:if i get thirsty in the room,how can l do?i thought i have be in trouble,so i told her the reason that why she can't bring water into the room patiently ,but she still insisted on herself's opinion,luckily,the stuff members helped me to explain to the woman,although she looked still recalcitrant,but she agreed me at last,i also realized if i wan't to be a good gatekeeper ,i need to be more strict.in the 5;30p.m,i had finished my work at last,the stuff mumber told me that i can back to my home and i can get an identification at third floor,finally,i took the indentification and back home,although the rain is heavily,but my heart is warm.

By the way,i had also been worked in mother's office for 2 hours ,you can see the first photo for this blog,that's my indentification from my mother's company.
