Solution and Explanation

Step 1: Identifying the Discourse Type and Verb of Reporting:
The sentence is in the Discours Direct (Direct Speech), signaled by the colon and quotation marks (guillemets). The reporting verb is demande, indicating we must convert it into Discours Indirect (Indirect Speech) as an indirect question.

Step 2: Transforming the Interrogative Structure:

The direct question is a yes/no question using inversion (Avez-vous reçu...).
• In indirect speech, a direct yes/no question is introduced by the conjunction si (if/whether).

Step 3: Adjusting Pronouns and Possessive Adjectives:

The librarian is addressing me (me demande). Therefore:
• The subject pronoun vous (formal plural/singular) refers directly to me, so it becomes je (or j' before a vowel).
• The possessive adjective votre (your) must match the new perspective and change to ma (my).

Step 4: Conjugating the Indirect Verb and Reassembling:

Conjugate the verb in the passé composé for je: j'ai reçu.
• Direct: La bibliothécaire me demande : « Avez-vous reçu votre carte de lecteur ? »
• Indirect: La bibliothécaire me demande si j'ai reçu ma carte de lecteur. Final Answer: La bibliothécaire me demande si j'ai reçu ma carte de lecteur.
