Are you a member in your local library?

I like read magzine in the library ,it 's free .and i can read many of them with out spend any money.

Yes I am! Have been a member since age 12. I go there at least once a week. There are plenty of books whose contents cannot be found on the internet. I prefer borrowing the book and then reading at home.

yeap,I love local library,but I have to work in every day without going there.I read books ten minutes in bed every night.I fell good.

Hi...its a good habit to spend time in lbrary.well...im not a member of local library .mostly i read magzines which we subscribe .actually the library is very far from our house otherwise i would prefer to read in lib.we can read lot of magzines...books which we subscribe otherwise,why waste of money when we can borrow from library....

in my college school,there is a large library.but i only enter one time.i donot like reading books in library,because i think reading books in the library gives me depress.so i prefer reading in home.reading in home is more comfortable.

lol!!! I embarrass my hubby so much with all the books I take out. He literally wrote a computer program for our home computer so he could keep track of all our books coming and going. We usually have at least 100- 150 books/ videos/ computer cd's out at a time. I homeschool, so we have books out on various subjects for the children. Then we have books out about stuff we want to learn about. Then we have our pleasure books out and we usually have an assortment of videos and such.

I love browsing my local library. I wish I had more time to browse more often. But seems everyone is in a hurry these days and in a rush to go here and there and when you don't have a car and rely on others..you have to go where they go when they go.. I have read kids books to my little sister at the library she loves it. BUt my books that I would check out always waited till I got home so I could snuggle in and get comfy to read. In peace and quiet.

I'm not a member in my local library, in fact, I don't know if there's any library in where I'm staying. I've been the national library once, and I don't really like the service and books provided there. So, I wouldn't want to enroll in any of the libraries here. But I like going to libraries when I'm in school, I find the books there are good and more relevant to us, I always find some good story books to read and also most of the time I went for reference books. Nowadays, I prefer to search for references in the Internet, and buy the books I like to read, and read at home. ^_^

I do have a library card for hte local library. I don't get to go that often since my schedule doesn't always allow me to be in town when they're open. Although, if there's something I want, I just see if my library or one of the sharing libraries has it, and I put in a request for it.

My son and I are both active members in our local library. We visit often. They still have story time for young kids at this library. A new computer room for people to use. And books of course. The membership here is still free. My son and his friends use the library quite often. It is still a pretty popular place in our little town. I prefer reading at home. I do check out books and take them home to read. I do read at the library if I am waiting for someone, etc. though.

My family and I used to be members of the local state library. We used to go there to return or borrow books. The yearly membership fees were quite high for the whole family so we did not renew our membership. Instead we have joined the National Library. It is located about 90km away but it is worth it. No fees to pay, more books can be borrowed at any time, and a longer borrowing period. all the best, rosdimy

There is a library in this town, yet I have yet to visit it since we have moved here. I would like to become a member, and go there more often but between time and transpo, that is not possible.

No, I'm not a member of the local library. It's UGLY. Not only that, it lacks resources. I've never seen a library so outdated and neglected! Our government doesn't take good care of it because they don't train their staff well - the books are covered in cobwebs and dust and the tables in the library are almost useless - so are the chairs! Thanks for the response on my discussion!

I am a member of a local library .Unfortunately I haven’t been there in a while and when I do go there it is to surf the net when mine is not working .The role of libraries are slowly changing ,once they were a place where you could find information contained in books ,but now the information is contained in both books and binary. I think most persons now rather to search online for a book first before going to catalogue. Anyway I am being sidetracked ,with regards to reading at the library ,I have always preferred to read at my home, it more convenient and quieter .Yes sometime the library can be quite noisy. There is always some chatter who is doing more talking than reading.

With internet around I think the days of library has come to an end. You get lot of material available freely on internet and this has perhaps I think has reduced the popularity of library. First thing, there are rarely any local libraries (apart from in colleges) and next is people more frequently use internet. Same is the case with me and am not a member of my local library.

I am a member of two libraries. One in Maryland and one in New York. I haven't been to the library in new york recently because I own a fee that I can seem to remember to pay. But I hear libraries are very serious when it comes it late fees, so I should get on that quick.

Yes I definately am a member of my local library. I have been since I was very young. My mom used to take my brother and I to the library at a very young age. I haven't been to the library for a couple years though. I have a library card for 3 different cities. Vancouver, burnaby and new westminster. I owe money to several accounts though. So I haven't been back for a while.

I am an avid reader and cannot function properly without the Public Library. I like to read so much there is no way I can buy all the books I want to keep up. :) This past summer our library was flooded. I lost access for 2 months. Now they are no where near what they were prior to the flood, however, there is a small branch location near my home and they have relocated everything that was salvaged to it until they can rebuild. I am so thankful that they are still able to operate as they have. When I moved, the first thing that I did after settling was get my member card. I think the internet has made libraries much more accessable. I, however, do not think the internet can ever completely replace all that the library itself has to offer. I remember my first library card as a kid and going to the reading room. That is what made it exciting to me as a child, now as an adult, free is all I need to hear. ;)

I used to have a library card but I don't know if it is still good. I have no need to go to the library now since I have so many unread books at home.

Yup.. im a member of the library where i stay... I am always a member of the library near my place even if i move... just moved recently and got a new membership... and the library is bigger and better....
