Sampul The Note in the Library Book

Wren returns a library book on a quiet Tuesday afternoon. Otto, the new librarian, checks the book back in.

Wren mengembalikan buku perpustakaan pada Selasa sore yang sepi. Otto, pustakawan baru, mencatat pengembalian buku itu.

Something falls out of the pages. It is a small, folded note. Otto picks it up and reads it.

Sesuatu jatuh dari sela halamannya. Sebuah catatan kecil yang terlipat. Otto memungutnya dan membacanya.

The note says, "Meet me at the fountain, three o'clock, Friday." There is no name on it.

Catatan itu berbunyi, "Temui aku di air mancur, pukul tiga, hari Jumat." Tidak ada nama di sana.

"This book is very old," Otto says. "The note is probably many years old too."

"Buku ini sangat tua," kata Otto. "Catatan ini mungkin juga sudah berumur bertahun-tahun."

Wren looks at the book's return card inside the cover. It has names and dates written by hand.

Wren melihat kartu pengembalian di dalam sampul buku itu. Kartu itu berisi nama dan tanggal yang ditulis tangan.

"Look," Wren says. "This name is from ten years ago. Maybe it's the same person."

"Lihat," kata Wren. "Nama ini dari sepuluh tahun yang lalu. Mungkin itu orang yang sama."

Otto is new at the library and doesn't know the old system. Wren explains how the card works.

Otto masih baru di perpustakaan dan tidak tahu sistem lamanya. Wren menjelaskan cara kerja kartu itu.

They find three names from that year. Wren checks the library's old newsletter on the shelf.

Mereka menemukan tiga nama dari tahun itu. Wren memeriksa buletin lama perpustakaan di rak.

"This name matches," Wren says. "She worked here on Fridays, ten years ago."

"Nama ini cocok," kata Wren. "Dia bekerja di sini pada hari Jumat, sepuluh tahun lalu."

Otto smiles. "You are very good at this," he says. "And you only started today."

Otto tersenyum. "Kamu jago sekali dalam hal ini," katanya. "Padahal kamu baru mulai hari ini."

They decide to leave the note in a new book. The next reader can find it.

Mereka memutuskan menaruh catatan itu di dalam buku baru. Pembaca berikutnya bisa menemukannya.

"Someone will find it," Wren says, "just like we did."

"Pasti ada yang menemukannya," kata Wren, "sama seperti kita."
