　　Dear Sir or Madam,   

　　I am very glad to hear that the library is improving its facilities, so I am writing this letter to offer my proposals. 

　　Libraries are essential for students and researchers. They also play a role in education and entertainment. Our library should do its best to purchase new publications as well as maintain a full set of classical works. Besides, now that Internet is becoming very important in today’s world, our library should consider providing internet access like all major libraries。

　　Libraries should strive to keep up with the times, and I would be very grateful if you consider my proposals.                                                                                         Yours sincerely,

　                                             　Li Ming

    Re: Library UsageDear Sir, 

　　You have expressed your frustration and Irritation with the city library over the past six months. There are usually long lines waiting for assistance and for use of the computer card catalogs。

　　To avoid crowded conditions, we suggest you use the library during off-peak hours. You should have no trouble getting help and using the card catalogs during the following periods: 11: 30 am to 2: 30 pm; 5: 30 pm. To 7: 30 pm. The rest are our busiest times。

　　We always appreciate hearing your comments on the library. Let us know how you think this is working out.                                                                                              Yours faithfully,

　                                             　Li Ming
