Yes, there is a Library at my school. It is a beautiful place to be in because there are not a lot of people. I spend a lot of time there studying and reading a lot. It's one of my favorite places to be in. I feel it as home because people who work there are very kind to me. I would love to be there right now but unfortunately, I spend just 2 hours per day there, I would wish they were more.

My school has a library. Although my school's library is small, it has a lot of worth books to read. Almost the books are old but worthy. I usually go to the library to look for some of my favorite books with my friends. One thing I read in the school library's books is: "The more that you read, the more things you will know. The more that you learn, the more places you’ll go."

Submitted by Jonathan - Coo… on Tue, 06/26/2018 - 14:55

Hi Mughal. Yes, that's right :) "Do you have ..." and "Have you got ..." mean the same thing.

"Have you got ..." is quite common in British English.
