Do you visit the library to get books?

Lucky for me, the city of Sheboygan has a very nice library. There is alot do see and do in there. I read the magazines alot, browze thru the newspapers, and look at what new books have come in. I usually stay in there around 4 hours. Lately I have been reading philosophy books and self help materials. But normally I look at what the librarians set up as their books of the month. Libraries are cool places to get away from problems.

I have hardly eveer used a library other than when looking for reference material/. I like ot own the books and be able toread them at my leisure. By owning them, when I finish one, I have a huge selection at my fingertips to welect my next book to read. If I went to a library, I would have to wait till the next day and I would have to read them before my loan ran out. No such problem if I own my own library.

I do but not as much as I should. I love buying books. I need to just borrow them for free though.

Good morning, Maximax. Whenever I get a notion to go to the library, I usually visit it every other week. I can check out books for only two weeks at a time here and can check them out for free. Whenever I return a book past its due date, I am fined 5 cents per day per book. That can add up pretty quickly if I have several books checked out. Most of the books at the library are ones I remember seeing many years ago. I try to avoid those as much as possible. I like to check out the ones that are new. I also like to get books from there that meet some of my interests, such as books about pioneer living, plant, birds, animals, nice picture books, and anything else that would just catch my eye.

I only visit the library once a month but never check out the books because they dont have any good ones these days.

Yes , i like reading books ,but not all of the books i will reading . Sometime i really want to go to the library to borrow some books ,but there is not a library nearby my home .so when i am in my school , i will borrow more bokks as i can .i like reading the books which is about the citys or revualution,is very ineresting.

I have stopped going to libraries long time back,But recently I have taken my daughter who is in the 7th grade to library and the lire was irresistible.I am taking some books for me too along with hers.

When I was studying at college I was forever in the library, getting out reference books, but a library is not the place I like to stay in because it is not the quiet place it used to be or should be! Libraries are very noisy places. I don't read much nowadays, because I spend a lot of time on the computer and I guess the computer has taken over from the hours I used to spend reading. I like to support charity shops by buying second hand books cheaply and once I have read them I will give them to my neighbour to read or I will take back to the charity shops. I like detective and horror novels the best, but I have to be in the right mood to read and I have to have total silence, I need 100% concentration when reading and no interruptions.

I love, love our local public library and our country public library system. I'm usually at the library at least every two weeks to pick up books and audiobooks. They also have a great selection of good DVDs but since I have Netflix I don't really borrow them, but if you want free movies, getting them at the library is a great idea. I also use their online services where I manage my account, like renewing books, and requesting books that I want. They also deliver books straight at my doorsteps, so I adore that service. Furthermore, they are in relationship with other sites that allow us to download ebooks and audiobooks and use it for a certain period of time. With books getting expensive and money is tight, the library is a great substitute in feeding my book addiction.

All the time, usually once every two weeks or three. My son and I go a lot and I like to get out books for him to read to me each night. We also participated in the summer reading program and he managed to read 15 books and received a coupon discount booklet to all sorts of places. I read all sorts though, mostly thrillers and anything that I may be interested in. There is so many to choose from and I never run out of books to read when we visit.

When I was a student I consider school libraries as my second home. I love reading. So I spend most of my free time in books. I can read 4 to 5 books in a day during those times.

I like romance novels but I don't really go to the library that often now even though there is one right down the road form me! I like to have nice new books and collect them on my bookcases so thats why I don't visit the library that often!! x

I use the library all the time. Books are too expensive and I read too many to buy them all. There is no charge unless you are late returning the materials. (Which I unfortunately do quite often.) I try to get there every week, but sometimes I end up missing a week. I borrow mysteries, romance novels, scrapbooking books and magazines, DVDs and childrens books.

I find I no longer need to visit my local library anymore. People are always giving me books and when I finish them I pass them on. There are a couple of real great used book stores near me that I love to visit, I can spend hours just browsing books in them. I like to read suspense, fantasy and horror mostly.

Hello maximax, I definitely visit the library a lot. I am a very regular borrower of library books and I go there as soon as my current books are read. Over here, free library membership is a privilege of citizenship and our public libraries are very well stocked and relatively current. I normally focus on fantasy and science fiction. Cheers!

It used to be free to join a library here in Calgary, too. So when I moved here 7 years ago and wanted to join one so I could rent some books to my surprise I was told when I went that it costs $85 a year to be a member. I was in total shock. I thought it was free. But now it isn't anymore and I think that the charge of $85 is way too much. It wouldn't cost me that much to buy the books I like to read since I usually buy them at a second hand book store. The book store I go to only charges $2.00 a book and when I bring in three used books I get one free. So for $85 I would be able to buy a lot of books, so I didn't join the library. It's just too bad that they have to charge so much. I thought that when we pay our taxes we were paying for a library. After all the libraries are funded by our government. So I don't go anymore. Alrighty then, talk to you later my friend, Your friend, Chris

We have a great library for a small town. I like mysteries, especially those who include cats and/or quilts in the stories. I also occasionally check out informational books about native trees or flowers and anything new about multiple sclerosis. Besides books to read, I check out audio books.

Yes i go to library to barrowed books.The library here is no near in my home only walking distance but im not go there cause i dont like much reading and i think its bad but cant help my self I dont go often in library i just go there if i need some books.That depend if what book i need then that will i get.

Visiting library was a good remember of my school time,I went to library everyday,borrowed nearly all sort of books,such as travel, health, car, vogue, photo, as well as some financial books.Now,there's no library near my house,even in the downtown,my office is maybe 10 miles more from the library I knew.So,few time to visit now.LOL

City libraries here are not good but the school libraries are. I love books but I don't read them. I don't know. I mean I read but it is too seldom.
