A limited service notice
A newly composed Hindi notice reads: “पुस्तकालय सोमवार को बंद रहेगा। पुस्तक-वापसी मशीन पूरे दिन उपलब्ध रहेगी। मंगलवार को पुस्तकालय दस बजे खुलेगा।” A reader wants to return a book on Monday and collect another on Tuesday. One answer says every service is unavailable Monday; another gives Tuesday’s opening time as though it applied Monday. The task asks for a supported reading of the actual Hindi rather than an invented ordinary timetable. The passage does not state Sunday hours, an automatic extension of a loan or a guarantee that a reserved title will be ready. It is instructional material, not a real library’s current policy. A careful explanation separates the building from the return machine, distinguishes the two days and avoids turning a specific notice into a universal rule about libraries.
