I have a joke for you. One day a goose crossed the street and went into to a library bookstore. "Excuse me, I want to buy a book," it said. The assistant (or clerk/employee) gave it to him and the goose went away. A little while later it came back and go went into the library bookstore. "Excuse me, I want to buy another book." So then the assistant gave to him again another. Curious, she the assistant followed the goose until to the river and she seen saw the goose give the book to a frog the book. Then she asked it, "What do you want to make do with this book?" READ IT, READ ITNice joke!
In English we use library to refer to a place where you can borrow books for free. A bookstore (or book store, either spelling is correct) is a place that sells books. It's a false cognate.
To identify the assistant selling the books to the goose as female, you need to set this up in the sentence so it is clear to the reader that the feminine pronoun refers back to the neuter term of assistant, which is used for both male and female assistants. A good example of this is the corrected sentence that starts with "Curious."
