I do I take my kids there at least 2x a week. I also take out books from the library. I don't think many people go to the library anymore, what about you?

i do go to the library but usually i know what i am going in for before i set foot in there cause i look up books online then check my library online to see if they have them or not then just go in and pick them up

Good idea. Our library also has capability of searching for the book online and having it ready for pickup at the library.

We were going on a regular basis but got away from it for a while because neither of us has time to read. When our daughter is older, we'll probably start going again.

Good for you. Keep reading and going to the library. It might just keep your brain agile.

We go during the summer on a regular basis. Since school has started we don't normally go. My son goes to the school library once a week and get a new book.

Our kids go to the library at their school to get books but I can't remember the last time I went to the library, many many years.

Yes, I just don't have enough time to do it as often as I would like. I would take my kids all the time. I love the library it is such a wonderful magical place for kids. My dad took us all the time when we were young and I like to take my kids too.

I think its a wonderful place for kids too. My daughter really loves it there, my son does too, he likes the train set. He is only 11 mo so he doesnt care as much about the books as my daughter does.

I often visit my local library. This is a small town where just about everyone knows everyone else! Since the library here is in the community center it is a good place to see old friends and do some catching up along with finding something of interest to read. I not only attend my library, but I also contribute books I pick up from time to time. Some of the classics they seem to have problems getting so I do that to help out.

I'd gp every so often... Only when I really need a book, like for a school paper, or something that I need to look up. Unless I am really bored, I might go check out a book. But I find it kind of useless to check them out these days. I normally would just buy the book if I find them. They arent expensive anymore. 5.99 for a thick book by well known authors.
