Library [08/30]

Kyle was standing in the middle of the library. The office had given him instructions to be here, open the library and, at some point, talk to the librarian about being a library aide. Seemed pretty straight forward, right?

He didn't have the heart to tell them they should maybe choose someone who knew how to read properly.

Kyle was just going to sit up here on this counter and look around. No wait. Was that a shiny nickel on one of the shelves? He was going to go look at that instead.

"Yeah," Indy said giving Kyle a skeptical look. "Helps with the classification of texts. Then by title and author. You never heard of it?"

Kyle shook his head. "I'm from a future where civilization is in ruins and most of the libraries are rubble." He'd been practising how to explain home in fewer words.

Indy's eyebrows went up a little at that. "I'm sorry to hear that," Indy said sympathetically. "It's probably good you're hear. A few semesters in a library is a good way to get some decent reading done."

"Uh, are there any books here on how to learn how to do that?"

"You mean... to read?" Indy asked carefully.

"Yeah," Kyle replied, his voice quieter than before. "I can't really, I mean I can a little, but not really."

Indy gave him a small smile. "Well I think we might be able to help you out with that," he said encouragingly. "What do you feel most comfortable reading?"

"English?" He didn't quite understand.

Indy gave a little chuckle. "Sorry. I meant what subject would most like to read about."

"Ohhh." He thought about it for a little while. "My Dad used to read me detective stories. I liked those."
