Finding the right repair guide
1A library offered several guides about repairing household objects. Some explained bicycle repairs, while others described how to mend clothes. A visitor needed instructions for a torn jacket, not a bicycle.
2The guide that the visitor selected explained how to mend a jacket. A volunteer who knew basic sewing helped the visitor find the right page. The visitor followed the instructions but practised on an old piece of cloth before touching the jacket.
3The librarian kept the different guides on separate shelves. Clear labels helped visitors choose a relevant guide, but choosing one was only the beginning. They still needed to read its instructions carefully before using a tool.
