I take my child frequently also. The library is a great way to get kids to read. My child gets bored reading the same books all the time & this is the only way that I can afford to expose her to lots of different books.

Yes, I care for my parents, and Mom gives me her list.. I go online and put holds on her list, then when they come in we get a phone call. I take back the one's she is done with and bring back her new list.
If there is one that interests me, I usually keep it out another day or two for me to read.
Since we have our own library here, lining pretty much every wall of everyroom except the dinning room, there is never a shortage of things to read.
I also pick up the withdrawn ones that might be of interest to Mom or myself.
My trips to the library are sometimes 2 times a week, sometimes once a week and rarely, once in two weeks. The librarians pretty much know me. I used to take Mom in her wheelchair, just to get her out in the fresh air, but since the librarians thought it would be better if I entered her lists from home to put them on hold.. (I am a bit miffed about that one since now I seldom can get her out for much of anything.) She reads two to four books a day..Mostly Mysteries.

We still go to the library every week or two. I like getting my grandson into the reading habit, and he always looks forwards to going. For myself, I check out all kinds of books, fiction, educational, and magazines.

I do!! Ours is VERY nice. Anyway, why buy books when you can borrow them for free?

I love the library. It's so easy to use now too, now that you can reserve and renew books online. I'm always reading book reviews, and then going right over to the computer to put in a reserve.

I sure do! I take my kids there to get books and they love to play with the puzzles they have and the big train set they have there.
